This is not a story of big hands went awry. It's really small. But as you see I had a nice hand having Tanyao, Pinfu, Riichi, and maybe (if I won with 8-pin) Sanshokou. If I drew the 8 myself, add Menzen Tsumo for a Haneman. And then another player gets to win with a trash hand (literally) and collect three riichi bets. 4100, not bad for a ko gomi tsumo.

Only one 8-pin (and one 5-pin) in the other players' hands, not a single one in the discards, and 13 tiles to go. Meh. Sorry, Just had to say that.

Bad news when your opponent gets a decent score off a cheap hand and blocks your bigger win too, but that's the nature of the game - sometimes it'll be you doing it to someone else.

I've had a interesting morning - been playing one-round games on Janline-R online. In one game I was one away from an early tenpai on Kokushi (I've only been online two weeks, would've been my first multiplayer limit-hand) but then, predictably, a cheap win beat me to it. :x Then in the very next game I completed a rare Shoku Dōkō (three pungs with same numbers).

I would rather have made the yakuman though! :lol:
