Hmm... tough one.
Maybe start discarding the West pair and hoping for bamboos in an effort to make a Pinfu? Might even get a good final wait or Iipeikou. Depends on the board. Could also go for Toi Toi.

After some hard thinking it just cannot be anything but the 8p. Loads of reasons for it if you think about it i\'d say =)

Interesting.
Is that because all the other tiles are just too useful?
I suppose you also leave yourself the very slight chance of seven pairs or a ryanpeikou, but both unlikely.

I would get rid of the :west :west , since it hampers further development and is (most of the time) a pretty safe discard.

hmmm maybe it sounds a bit odd but i would but the 6sou here :P it seems that this dora can become quite dangerous ...(just a stupid instinct :P ) Or just cut the honor tiles for a pinfu (i like hit and run tactics when im the dealer)

Agreed on discarding the west wind pair. I\'d try to incorporate the dora into my hand with the 6 sou.
You could also shoot for a yao chu hand, I guess, but I\'ve always found those difficult to make.

We always want to make the most of our turn as dealer and with this hand that probably means the best way to go is fastest to ready. That means that discarding pairs like the Wests is shooting ourselves in the foots. Peace is so far away I\'d really rather go for something else like possibly 7 Pairs, although as soon as I get one triple in my hand I immediately start dreaming of 3 or even 4 Concealed Triples. To that end I throw the 7 of dots which leaves all of those still possible and actually even gives us the possibility of scoring a big hand too. If we get another Lucky Dragon and tiles start coming out that we have pairs of like West, 6 characters, or 3 bamboos, start ponning immediately for All triples and at least 2 lucky dragons for mangan. Otherwise we want to keep it closed for the possible big score. Mmmmmmmm, yakuman
