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...

Re: My hand of the week

Screenshot_20240118-232914_Mahjong Beginner_1.jpg Aah, the luck of the Dora ; And, being east in the east round, And, someone else calling a kong. What more could you ask for? Well, I could ask for drawing the :east instead of calling it, and then winning by riichi to get the kazoe yakuman (48000),...

Re: My hand of the week

Screenshot_20240117-190840_Mahjong Beginner_1.jpg Very similar to the one I had last May. I think if I had gotten the :east instead of the green-dra , It would have been a nice 24,000 but getting the yakuman was still pretty satisfying. Still having fun after 10 years on the forum. Wow, time does f...

Re: another gameplay question

Screenshot_20231028-125406_Chrome_1.jpg OK. Got it. I think. Let me summarize. In the example above, I am NOT tenpai because I am waiting for a tile of which I already have all 4 of them. But, My opponents would be tenpai because they are waiting for a tile where all 4 of them are visible among the...

FROM BARTS GUIDE Screenshot_20231026-135801_Xodo Docs_1.jpg I need a refresher on this since it basically never occurs, until yesterday. If I have 8-dot 8-dot 8-dot and 6-dot 7-dot 8-dot showing on the table and I happen to have in my hand a 7-dot 9-dot, am I still tenpai (for a share of the 3000 bo...

Re: My hand of the week

Good to hear from you. Hope everything works out the way you want. And now, back to the topic: Got an immediate ron on this one, a renho, if I remember correctly, but BARTS guide lists it as an optional hand, and this game obviously doesn't recognize it. Close to a mangan with the two dora, though S...

The tension mounts!!
Will I get the 2-dot or the white-dra ?
A very nice hand or the yakuman daisangen?
Or nothing at all if I lose the hand.

Re: severely in need of an english translation!

Thanks!
Related the info. Says her internet is strong. We shall see.

Not much happening on the forum these days. Sign of the times.
Approaching the 10 YEAR anniversary of my first post in a few months.
Still playing live games, but only with one group now.
Take care, STEVE
