On the ADIEU play against Carl, I know we talked about it a little, but I feel like I got a much more concrete idea after we talked about it. The theme in a position like this is to remember that the objective isn't to stop your opponent from playing a bingo, but rather to stall them for a while.
Since the board is made up of a lot of mediocre bingo lines but not a lot of good ones, there is still equity in stalling bingos, but there isn't a lot of equity in trying to get scoring tiles. The entropy in this position is pretty much out of control: you can't even really do much about it by adjusting your leave because of the lack of options with most high scoring tiles.
That being said, there are still bingo lines and equity to consider. Those should be the important factors to consider. But they are more immediate factors. Based on those factors I'd lean towards fishing here, either with ABY or VAU, depending on what you think about Carl and his ranges.
When faced with high entropy positions you really should just push small edges. Ultimately in games like Scrabble or poker if someone wants to play high variance situations there's not much you can really do to stop them.
