While getting a bingo to get us back in the game is certainly a distinct goal, I worry that the fewer tiles we draw now, the more chances for Opp to get the esses. I favor a more dynamic approach and suggest "intrant", keeping the "u" and maximizing our chances for picking up an "s." After all, Opp may pick a u-less Q-rack and have to pass his turn, pulling us back to even. We are behind with no esses and Opp just drew 7. We are definitely unlikely to win the game if the rest of the good tiles are distributed evenly. As was stated before, if we keep ainrt and do draw at least one "e" there are few places in which to play a bingo for good score and/or which do not open the board for Opp. The real problem is if we draw poorly after playing off "ut," not to mention if we should draw the "q." Even if we pick poorly but get an "s" it may be worth it. Wends and sq--- is a killer play.
