Subject: Avoiding book moves when out of book question

Hi
Tinker scores book moves (w/l/d formula) and also uses a preferences file (?
move flags) to avoid certain book moves, but only when in book.  Sometimes the
last possible book position has no book moves that Tinker would play with these
constraints, so it falls into the normal search.  Unfortunately, sometimes the
normal search picks one of these book moves it already tried to avoid.  Book
moves flagged ? can simply be removed from the root move list (when not leading
to check/mate issues), but how do others avoid book moves merely scored as poor?
Thanks
Brian
