Furiten or penchan?

In a game yesterday I was in this situation:

with a triple crak-wait that puts me in furiten, or a penchan. If I discard either 7-bam or 9-bam I could draw/call 1-crak 4-crak 7-crak (10 total tiles) and wait on 2-bam 5-bam, but if I draw/call bam then I'm furiten (on 10 tiles, but furiten nonetheless).

On the other hand, I could discard one of 2-crak 6-crak and wait on 2-bam 5-bam 8-bam (and 6-bam to have a better wait) without being furiten.

I would toss 2-crak knowing all the information you provide.

Having round wind tiles and being those the dora, I would call tiles if I need to. South is already ponned, so... Better to be fast, and avoid furiten to tsumo or ron anything, any tile. Looks like you'll get Yakuhai (South) + 3 Dora if you win, no matter the route.

That's my opinion.

Hmm, ryanshanten still, but this is for a mangan...

Your 5-crak discard on round 5 also tilts towards the 2-crak . You wouldn't want to draw 3-dot 2-bam and end up still furiten on a 2-crak 5-crak wait...
