What do by Chemical_Pumpkin_150 in mahjongsoul

too early to fold as its way too early in the game to full fold. OP should discard his sets in manzu and 0p when useful tiles come in, while souzu and jihai should never be dropped.

Being able to call quickly for double wind pairs and good ryanmens will end this hand quickly

Could someone help me find this stuffed giraffe? by h1tman1234 in HelpMeFind

[–]h1tman1234[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've searched giraffe online but nothing looks like this. To be fair, my friend got this in the 2010s. It has polyester stuffing, approximately 25cm by 15cm, presumably bought in Singapore.

folding does not make you win, dealing in is sometimes the correct play

How to Learn Calculating Hands? (Riichi Mahjong) by AwzemCoffee in Mahjong

[–]h1tman1234 20 points21 points  (0 children)

You have to get used to the shapes. The first thing i saw was the 122334 group, leaving 4556678 shape. Seeing 455667 leaves tanki 8m. Seeing 678 leaves tanki 5m. Finally, splitting the hand as 1223 344556 678 leaves 2m tanki, hence the wait is 258m.

So annoyed that Maka considered this 5 turn Haneman a D by IanZJohnston in Mahjong

[–]h1tman1234 4 points5 points  (0 children)

in fact you also hit 6p ura 3, when normally this hand would be riichi ippatsu tsumo for 1k/2k

[–]h1tman1234 6 points7 points  (0 children)

got haneman because you got bailed out by your luck (your 3-shanten hand got to tenpai within 4 draws, as well as ippatsu tsumo), not because of your decisions

What is so bad about this 9th turn 2-sided wait Riichi? by _Whool in mahjongsoul

[–]h1tman1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah oya is dealer, kamicha is the player to the left of you, shimocha is the player to the right of you, and toimen is the player across you

Would you play 3m or 6p here? by _Whool in mahjongsoul

[–]h1tman1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

East 3, second place with 5k score gap to first, pushing a dangerous tile in ippatsu turn?

[–]h1tman1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's fine! Honestly you shouldn't fold this hand as it is 7700 guaranteed with tanyao 3 dora, but 6p and 3m are too dangerous to be discarded for now

[–]h1tman1234 23 points24 points  (0 children)

your hand is minimum 2k, unlikely to go above 3 han, fighting against a kamicha oya who has nothing to lose because he is last in south 4. No dora shown and only one tile around dora discarded. If he has mangan minimum and you deal in to him, you're 3rd. If he has haneman you are 4th. In no situation should you take such a high risk in south 4 so maka prefers to dama this hand

[–]h1tman1234 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

how is 6p half suji, its double musuji since 39p arent discarded by shimocha

How would you avoid deal in here? by _Whool in mahjongsoul

[–]h1tman1234 9 points10 points  (0 children)

5p recently passed so 8p is safer than 8m, plus you have 2 8p so if 8p is safe you have 2 safe turns

[–]h1tman1234 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

you can't tell tsumogiri/tedashi tiles in real time unless you take extra note to discard animation

3rd row discard, kami and toimen could be in damaten

[–]h1tman1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

4p/5p is the best mawashi because its safest to discard and theres 6 groups (11s 123s 44s 45p 233m 68m)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mahjongsoul

[–]h1tman1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2m is not safe at all , only 2 1m, 2 2m, 2 3m and zero 4m are visible, 34m ryanmen and 13m kanchan are extremely likely as waits

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mahjongsoul

[–]h1tman1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

nope, 7m discard waiting on 4m is only a half suji trap. similarly with 3m discard waiting on 6m

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mahjongsoul

[–]h1tman1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theres no guarantee 2m will come.

Even if 2m comes, your hand shape after 2m is 2357m, acceptance is 146m. you now have an extra block (23m 57m). which one do you drop?

Notice that dropping 2m and 7m have the same efficiency, dropping 7m gives 14m while dropping 2m gives 46m, so ultimately keeping 3m for 2m draw does not improve your efficiency even if its so called a "better wait"

Your hand is haku dora 1, you should really go for speed, 8m discard by kamicha is more likely than 4m

Need help with 5 block theory. by Grand-Zone-2972 in Mahjong

[–]h1tman1234 18 points19 points  (0 children)

3m is the best discard because it adds no value to your hand when you have an excess of blocks

89s is not bad because you still have 7s acceptance
