10G JoSTLED was tempting at first, but I'm very happy to spot this play. Passing up the bingo is the way to go here and was one of my best strategic decisions this tournament. I unfortunately cannot give Rafi Stern, who I just met at nationals, a shoutout with his infamous AAT* phony that he accepted with K5 JET saving my S. #strategysolid
While I did hit the extension I was hoping might draw a challenge since this is a 9, I really needed a play that would turn over more tiles since there's 3 more Ss unseen. C3 BEADI(L)Y would have accomplished that nicely while scoring the same as BELEAGUER. #findingmedium
Unfortunately, 1 vowel too many will doom me. I have no wins. I only saw 14A (R)EBATO and missed C3 BOATE(L) for him. If I'm going to miss BOATEL, this play should be 12C OSSIA. #endgamelarge
I think I should have left the N off to significantly improve the leave. It's amazing how 1 fewer point means a much more manageable leave. #strategymedium
I'm shocked at how well this play sims despite it being poor on equity. Even so, I think I need to be more desperate by doing 2M WA(B). It only plays 2 tiles just like ROW does, but it makes a much higher scoring threat on Row 1. I'd do WAB in a do-over. I didn't see A8 (C)UBOID, but I really needed Column A open since any vowel can go after the C. #findingsmall
missed mate in one. somehow I got so bogged down in being able to play 14B GLAZE with an A draw that I missed GLOZE until the second I hit the clock. Absolute game-losing mistake. this was ridiculous #findingsaddest
this is all very close but I decided against E10 (A)KEE because I really didn't like the leave. this also set up the sneaky I7 E(V)E with another E draw, which bails me out on a lot of racks. Nevertheless this is probably #tacticssad
I thought maybe this has some merit to help control the northwest after bingoes to WHELP, but this was totally ridiculous and I should just play BARF. #tacticssadder
should play (J)EE here, sets up the R and I get to play YAGER for 40ish with an A draw. Very interesting, I think I shot my load too early on this one. #strategysadder ##fuckme
WOT screams S setup to me. I can't help but feel a bit stumped. I did hesitate to do A12 CUSS just because I thought RAIDINGS* was good (and so did he). I wanted a potential comeback response if Evan were to hit a bingo next turn. With that said, I did not see I8 S(A)UCY which would have been nice middle ground between cleaning up the rack and scoring decently. #findingmedium
Omg...I missed a really cool idea here. I did not see that I could have made BRAIDINGS, which is valid, with G7 CAB. That sets up an S hook that will be extremely difficult for Evan to block and it keeps additional lanes in MANSIONS open. #visionlarge
In a do-over, I might do N7 UN(AXED). While UNTAXED does accomplish my objective of opening up another 2 bingo lines while behind, UNAXED is worth the 3 point sacrifice since it bingoes 20% more often. I like that a little better. UNTAXED drew a hold but was correctly accepted. #strategysmall
I think I sacrificed too much short-term equity even if I made a board conducive to my S hook. 4G U(P)HOVE is not an easy play to spot and I think that's better to minimize risk. Evan is more unlikely to hit 2x2s from the V after he just picked 6 tiles, and me picking 2 vowels could potentially kill me for several turns. #findingmedium
B1 NIQAB does score 14 more than this. That said, I'm shocked I didn't lose out on that much win % even though I lost out on a decent amount of equity. Maybe this isn't that bad of a time to miss NIQAB given that I only need to win the game? There are still 5 more Is to pick and leaving RU won't help out too much with that. I should still find NIQAB and play that given that Evan is more random. #visionmedium
Since there's nothing I can really do to block Evan's new threat, I saw some nice parallels on Row 7 that can score nicely. B2 AUTOMA(TE) is a nice way to clean up the rack and surprisingly sims ahead of these Row 7 reparallels, however I think my idea of Row 7 plays is still better. 7C MAUT is a better version to basically force him to bingo immediately. #visionmedium
I mean at this point, the 8 more unseen Is are a problem, so I think that B12 GUL should have been the play to minimize my odds of a bad draw. It is simming at the top with O1 GUSTO to take out the dangerous WANDS hook. #findingsmall
