Re: My hand of the week

Ah, chinitsu vs honitsu, I knew that, brain drain, went back and changed it. Ah, riichi sticks available to NEXT hand winner. That's why it increases when any player calls riichi and resets back to zero after the next win . Ah, honba on the table, which resets after non-dealer win. Got it! Logical e...

Re: My hand of the week

Got two nice ones this week. First was honitsu with yakuhai dora , which seems to be working for me. Second was honitsu with chitoitsu (7 pairs), which was a bit harder to get. Only 2 doras on that one. Pictures are in reverse order, don't know how that happened. Sorry. Need to refresh my memory, wh...

Re: A new record!

When I checked in on the forum a few days ago, I noticed a certain number (3152) at the bottom of the sign-in page. Having a nostalgic moment from over 10 years ago, when the forum was really hopping during my learning years, and I was really excited about these things, I decided to look in on an ol...

Re: A new website with Riichi and Chinese gameplay

I didn't know there was so many types so going fruiten probably wasn't that difficult.

Re: Improving wait

I will give to you the same answer that was given to me in my early days on the forum. It depends on the situation. Yes, if you draw a 3-dot or 7-dot , your hand will improve, and you can riichi then. Yes, if you don't riichi now, you risk losing a win if a 5-dot is discarded. In this case, it is EA...

Re: WWYD

I would not discard :south under any circumstances here. What I meant by "importance" is, was it worth any points or yaku to me? You cleared that up. No Yaku. Dora points. That , along with the other information you provided, would help me decide which way to go with the hand. If the 7-dot 8-dot and...

Re: WWYD

The south wind would provide a yaku if I was sitting south or in the south round, which would yield more points should I need them, and make me feel better about discarding a dragon, or even opening the hand. None of this turns out to be the case I am not considering discarding any of the cracks. If...

Re: WWYD

My first thought is to go with a dragon also. However, I would need to know a few things before making a final decision. 1. Is the south wind of any importance to me? 2. How many tiles are left in the wall? 3. What tiles have been discarded/melded by other players? 4. The score. Am I behind or ahead...
