>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: AEOPRRV H4 VAPORER +82 82
>Jackson: DGIIIOV 10F VI.OID +20 20
#note VIVID looks standard at first, but I didnt like the G7 parallels that could be really good for him. I wasnt too worried about the V in VIROID closing the bottom left, G9 plays can reopen it easily
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ACELNOT 4F CO.ALENT +76 158
>Jackson: AGIJOOS K8 GA.JO +28 48
#note JO is 36 but I liked this to open the board more and keep the 8 row open. JO does josh's job for him and keeps things tight, and AGIOS didnt seem to have a lot of immediate potential.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ?DLNRYZ G9 R.NDY +17 175
#note good Z setup. A sim has a lot of htings very close, GLaZY, D(O)ZY, RINDY, ZEN. I like RINDY
>Jackson: EHIOPST 6F HO.PIEST +75 123
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ?DHLMNZ 12J H.LD +16 191
#note I imagine Josh missed MH(O) 7F here, I like that a lot. He said he forwent HM L12 for the easy vowel overlaps it could give.
>Jackson: AEEEGOT 12A GOATEE. +22 145
#note I felt like HOLD could hold a lot of Ss or ccc? and so didnt love GEODE, wanted to open the board more aggressively. This might work better against the S rack than the blank rack, which GGs me a bit too often after GOATEED. I did not sus out the Z here, I don't know if that changed my play though
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ?EIMNOZ I9 Z.O +44 235
#note He considered ZO(O)Ms, ZENDO, and this it seems. (P)IEZ(O) I6 and (G)IZMO are both sick as well. Q likes ZOO, PIEZO, GIZMO about equally. ZOO does have the advantage of almost being lower risk over a couple turns cause his bingo % is so high. I would do ZOOMs here I think but it might be a bit optimistic, as much as it puts Josh in a great position the game is still early and things will not stay closed.
>Jackson: EEFKNST 11C KEF +38 183
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ?BEIMNU A5 BEMUsIN. +86 321
>Jackson: EEENRST B2 RETENES +82 265
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ABINRSW 13C BARN. +49 370
>Jackson: DGOTUUU -DGOTUUU +0 265
#note nothing seemed worth keeping here, even the QU combo didnt seem to have much potential for hitting a heavy hitter.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: EIISSTW C3 WIS +29 399
>Jackson: ACEILNR D1 ALEC +30 295
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: EIQSTWX 1C W.XIEST +51 450
>Jackson: ?AIINRY N9 RAIsINY +80 375
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: ADFQTUU L1 QUA.T. +25 475
#note oops, neither of us saw an out in two for him but he did it anyways, FLUID J3 is there as well as 14L FUND. Playing FLUID first is the best endgame
>Jackson: AGILMOU 15L MA.O +36 411
#note QUAG is the best endgame given FLUID.
>Josh_Sokol-Rubenstein: DFU 2D .UD +24 499
>Jackson: GILU 14I IGLU +13 424
>Jackson: (F) +8 432
