>SkylerLutz: BEEHKOV 8H BOKEH +36 36
>Jackson: ACJRTVY K4 JARV.Y +38 38
>SkylerLutz: CDEIVXZ 9G VEX +46 82
>Jackson: ?CDSTTU M8 SCUTTeD +89 127
#note J: saw destruct (not dustcart), and knew this was phony, but I figured I could get this past him
S: I knew that playing up in D1 I'd have a sign on my back for situations like this. I just don't have the word knowledge yet to challenge random 7's off.
>SkylerLutz: CDIIPSZ 10L C.Z +34 116
#note I considered DITZ 12k, to create a race-to-the-Y situation, but is it really justified at this spread? After CUZ I am down a tempo but it's tied. Not sure. Similar idea is possible with JARVEYS/SCUDI, although I knew neither of those at the time
>Jackson: EEILLQR -ELQ +0 127
#note the annoying JELL sims best, at least there are separate spots on the board to play on so JELLO and JELLY are not the only place to go, but with Q in hand I felt all these plays were just putting me at a big disadvantage for hitting the board. RILLET I was about to play, but similarly the Q is only going to be a hindrance on this board. RILLET and JELL are realistically decent plays, what with U bailouts and occasional QI dumps, but I do like exchanging as well
>SkylerLutz: DEIIPSW 12J DIP. +14 130
#note Tricky turn. I did see WIDDIE 14J but wasn't 100% on it with IE instead of just the Y and floating the E seemed reckless. I also stared at IWIS L12 for awhile, but the S placement seemed reckless considering Jackson just exchanged. At least his bingo's over/underlapping DIPT give back potential bomb in row H. I also stared at plays like WED N13 AND DEW.
>Jackson: EFFILRR 11E RIFFLE +27 154
>SkylerLutz: EEEISWY 14J WEE.Y +40 170
>Jackson: ?LOOPRU 5E UROPOd.L +68 222
>SkylerLutz: AEEIIST 4J A.EE +27 197
#note Wow, BEEFIEST H8 is quite a star play. Obviously did not see that. Short of that, AJEE I felt scored well, balanced the rack, and opened a lane on row 3.
>Jackson: AGILNQU H11 .LING +30 252
#note setting up QUA for 48
>SkylerLutz: IIIRSST 6B IRIS +8 205
#note I did see plays like SIRE K11 but I don't think I can stomach any more I's. Was really praying for a D for RIFFLED but I played it off with DIPT. Sigh
>Jackson: ADMMQSU K11 D.M. +42 294
>SkylerLutz: EGILSTW F10 W.G +15 220
#note Did not know WIGLETS 3D, live and learn
>Jackson: AAAMQSU G13 QUA +48 342
>SkylerLutz: EIILOST A4 OILIEST +79 299
>SkylerLutz: EIILOST -- -79 220
#note I should have been more careful here and just played in row 3. I was not 100% on LIRIS* and I did not know ROILIEST. Live and learn.
>Jackson: AADIMRS A3 ARAMIDS +90 432
>Jackson: AADIMRS -- -90 342
#note J: shouldnt be greedy and should just play aramids/sad, but I felt like after scutted and liris*, I could squeeze some more spread with MIRIS*, but skyler would have none of it, good challenge.
S: The sign on my back is showing. I was pretty confident on MIRI backhooks so I was able to challnege this off. Jackson agreed after the game that it's a pretty common exploit to try to get bluffs through the turn after a lost challenge.
>SkylerLutz: EIILOST 3D OILIEST +61 281
#note J: the real problem with phonying last turn is that the downside is huge, since OILIEST here blocks my bingo
>Jackson: AADIMRS 4A MAID +26 368
>SkylerLutz: EENNNOT A1 NEE. +18 299
#note Ugh. I've been chasing an O this whole game to overlap BOKEHS and now I can't hit the spot well.
>Jackson: AABNORS 7G NOB +29 397
#note BRIAR is 30
>SkylerLutz: AENNOTT 3L TON +13 312
#note Did not know INTONATE. I simply haven't gotten around to 8's yet, been too busy working through 5's. I played TON because I thought there was a decent (?) chance Jackson didn't hold any backhooks and any blocks would give me lanes for 7's back. The unseen pool looked pretty great for this rack.
>Jackson: AAAHORS O1 RASH +37 434
>SkylerLutz: AEGNORT C2 AN. +22 334
>SkylerLutz: AEGNORT -- -22 312
#note Sigh, he had a backhook. Did not know NEGATRON 1A. I only saw NEGATOR with no place for it. Figured I could score decent here and try to hook RANI next turn.
>Jackson: AAAEINO 11M .AO +14 448
>SkylerLutz: AEGNORT H1 GA. +12 324
#note Oops, NOILY does not compare...
>Jackson: AAEINTU 1H .UNITE +8 456
#note retorn plays, but I would rather block tonger here
>SkylerLutz: ENORT 12D TE. +10 334
#note Tricky game. Seeking any and all recommendations and feedback, tyvm!
>Jackson: AA 15N AA +11 467
>Jackson: (NOR) +6 473 |
