#note A(V)ENS is what popped, then I decided to find a way to keep the ess. Questionable since opp won't be drawing one the rest of the way and so is that much less likely to make a bold ess opening. Just how sim prefers (V)ANNER here is beyond me given the inferior score and the potential to totally lose control of the board. (V)ENT is at least defensible as an alternative in that vein. But A(V)ENS does look best.

#note It's very close between this and (C)OWL. I couldn't guess why.
>Mike_Baron: ULL 6J L.LU +6 226
>Stefan_Kac: OUFJPRY 12A PROF +37 369
#note 14F JU(N) plays modest defense and saves PROF for next turn.
>Mike_Baron: AEI?DQT 14G A.TIQuED +86 312
#note Underscored by 2.
>Stefan_Kac: EIIUDJY 10I JU.IED +26 395
#note Overscored by 6. Wtf?
(GO)JI is a little better statically, but JU(R)IED seemed like solid defense.
>Mike_Baron: INW 13M WIN +25 337
>Stefan_Kac: AEIOPYY 12L YEA +22 417
#note Don't recall which plays I saw, but balance was a major concern here. Seems like (P)IPY can go very wrong. 7A (L)AY is probably worth it.
>Mike_Baron: ULM A12 .LUM +24 361
>Stefan_Kac: AAEIOPY B6 .A +13 430
#note If you see that there are no sevens in the pool then this hedge is unnecessary.
