Hey guys! I've been playing quite a bit more and have gotten to starting dan with a rating of ~1800 in Tenhou. I was wondering about two troublesome scenarios to deal with in Tenhou. First question: What do you do when you start with 1 dealer wind tile / a dragon tile that is the dora? Do you deal i...

Originally, I enjoyed laying low and dealing almost all safe tiles unless I was going to be at 1 shan ten / tenpai with a good shape if I were to deal a tile that isn't in my opponent's pond. I usually ended up getting 2nd/3rd for this, and a few times, 4th because I was dealer and it ended up costi...

I am unsure about finding my average hand win % and deal in %, so I just uploaded an edited version of my current stats on paint and uploaded it. http://s1209.photobucket.com/albums/cc392/GGnores/?action=view¤t=tenhoustats.jpg So depending on the information given (as you've listed: riichi dep...

Thanks once again for your clarification on my rash tendencies. I think there may be a problem with how I'm playing if you are typically expected to be pon-happy. I go for menzen 80% of the time and occasionally pon when I am already in the lead, or have a fast hand to offer. I've always felt the Na...

Thanks once again, everyone : P I think that I have some problems with honor discards and when to discard them. I obviously understand the principles to not discard a live dragon or fanpai during mid-game when someone's showing signs of a half flush, but sometimes I'm unsure how whether to keep it o...

First off, I would like to strongly thank xKime for providing me some help with his expertise in Mah Jong. I would like the members of the community to look at some of my stats and maybe criticize some of my recent games. I am currently at 3 Kyuu with a rating of 1752. I have logged around 50 games ...

Thanks. And yes, I did believe that the 3334 shape was superior than the pairs initially. Are there any possible sources that you could link me so that I could improve my playstyle?

I apologize for this inconvenience, however my computer has been reformatted many times and I do not have the logs. I will immediately make an account and start from here.

Over these two to three years, I've learned all the rules and yaku. I slowly started developing my own MahJong style and learned strategy, tile efficiency theory, situational play, and all that. I've played thousands of games over the years so I have a fair bit of experience, and have watched replay...

I came in 4th with 7700 points...I think. When I played with them, I noticed a few things. Half the time, they go for Dama-Ten. Other half they reached. They were building hands extremely fast. I was almost always a bit slow (1 shan ten before they reached). There were so many instances of reach whe...

These are actually hands that I've experienced. Being unfamiliar with these shapes, I was unsure of what to discard so I made a note and recorded them. Thanks for the help, everyone.

The thing is, if you discard the 3-crak , you are breaking up changes of meeting 2-crak and 4-crak so that you could obtain a two sided wait afterwards. With 1-dot 2-dot , you are probably a step closer to tenpai but have a bad wait to get into tenpai. I'm just not sure which one's exactly a better ...

Hi there. I'm a beginner and I require some assistance. If we are aiming for the fastest possible tenpai, what do we discard from here? 2-bam 3-bam 4-bam 1-dot 2-dot 7-dot 3-crak 6-crak 7-crak 8-crak :north :north :north draw: 8-dot Oh, and here's another one that I need help with... 4-crak 7-crak 9...
