Edited again March 28th, 2016 This is mostly for my own reference, since most players are not really interested in other players stats, as evidenced by the fact that no one else has posted here in the last 7 years. I'm not even interested in my own anymore. It was fun while learning. Having now play...

Game is hanchan, east 3: After you riichi, do you discard the 3-crak and go for the 2-crak 5-crak wait OR do you discard the 4-crak and go for the 3-crak :east wait? In this case, since there are three 2-crak and one 5-crak showing on the table, and since both waits have 4 tiles available, I chose t...

yeah, those are definitely brutal. I might never win a hand....well....er.....maybe one.......or two? just kidding.......I think?

yeah, that was back in september in my early days (he said laughingly) , when I was experimenting in these different rooms on my app with rules like yakitori, wareme, uma, shugi, no bankruptcy, and red fives numbering from 2 thru 6. The only ones of these that I am using in my regular game are 3 red...

Found this thread from a couple of years ago. Don't use any of the 6 optional rules listed just above. Didn't even know they existed. ( Left Visibility? Really? ) I do use 3 red fives, one of each suit, and recently, started using 1 haku pocchi, just to add a little variety. Didn't seem to matter, s...

That helped. Found the info in Barticles guide (p27). KYOTAKU, or Reach Bank. A deposit area for riichi scoring sticks. Good job. Thanks

When I tossed the 8-crak , I never even thought about seven pairs. I saw that two nines were out and didn't want to get burned by tossing the 7-crak or the red 5. ( Unfortunately, I neglected the 4 6-crak that were still around). I had 2 doras ( maybe 3), there were still 46 tiles left at the time, ...

Just claimed south for toi-toi and got a surprise. Parenchan. 8 consecutive dealer continuances. I understand that this is considered rare, and it is an optional yakuman, but I have gotten it twice and have some questions. Questions: On the top left of both screens, there are two different words tha...

All good suggestions. Thanks guys. Only, I dont quite see why my discard of the was REALLY BAD instead of NOT THAT GOOD, unless, it has something to do with going for pinfu. I just wanted to cry. (just kidding)

Time for my mahjong lesson. Here is a situation where I wasn't sure of what to discard. I decided on the 8-crak because there were two 9-crak showing on the table. But what if there wasn't?? Anyway, I drew the 1-crak and I was in the same fix all over again. What do I discard? This time, I weakened ...

I would toss the as I head for tanyao.
I cant see any reason to keep it since I have the and I dont want the
Pinfu also a possibility with if I do not open the hand

Right. I knew that. I meant that. I even said that just above. I just wrote the wrong word without thinking. I should have wrote that you can call riichi and declare a kan on the same turn (see the EDIT). Thanks for pointing that out.

OK, I think I got it. You are saying that if the hand was 5-bam 6-bam 8-bam :north :north 5-dot 6-dot green-dra green-dra green-dra 3-crak 3-crak 3-crak and I draw the 3-crak , declare the kan, and get the 4-bam 7-bam as the replacement tile, which puts me in tenpai, I can call riichi immediately, d...

This is situational, but In this case, if the situation doesn't make it too dangerous, I'd call kan, and then riichi on the extra tile if not 4-dot 7-dot OK, I'm having trouble understanding this. Are you saying that you would call the kan, and then call riichi on the replacement tile, right then, ...

Here is a post from 4 years ago that I am going to bring up again so that I can better understand the explanations. The hand is 5-bam 6-bam 7-bam :north :north 5-dot 6-dot green-dra green-dra green-dra 3-crak 3-crak 3-crak The hand is tenpai but riichi has not been called, yet. The next tile drawn i...
