>breaks his 1shanten chitoi for 2shanten toitoi

but my toi toi will be worth 5200… vs riichi chiitoi 3200… it’s 50/50 so its ok

muh dora acceptance (4p)

mmmmmmm tanyao brain. let’s check efficiency

tanyao bros…

idk i was cool with 2000 out of this hand but maybe if i didnt cut 4z I’m locking myself into riichi

I would cut the 7m later… do I lose out on aceptance by that much here?

yes i do lose acceptance ok

i’m not tossing yakuhai dora into 4th’s two open call hon itsu bro wtf

tfw no balls

8m is safer to hold later cause i have no balls

yeah i really fucked this one up I was like how do I keep sanshoku like this??? the answer is I can’t!

ok the argument for this is ‘what if you draw 2m dora?’ but my view is sakigiri it cause that’s wishful thinking. but i could also tanki it if i draw 58p… i dunno feels like high risk high reward when I don’t want to be high risk

I guess I should have leaned harder to hon itsu off the bat

going for hon itsu / toi toi from this far is actually unhinged lol

I think if this was tenhou I wouldn’t make this pon… but I was like I’m pretty sure someone will test the 1m suji to fight here. this is definitely playing to the competition

idk fuck it what am i drawing to fix my dora tanki? I’m still 20,300 away from toimen so I’m still safe for direct mangan so I don’t wanna drop any dora

get well soon being sick sucks!

true your dora acceptance bro?

I just wanted tenpai ok? help minimize the bleeding from oyakaburi baiman ):

I guess i could reason middle souzu are safe vs 0s riichi cut but i was just like bruh im folding; my hand is not coming alive with having to pass either 5m or 5p to that

this might actually be less efficient lets see

yeah i lose 4s acceptance ok you got me

very interesting. but i dont wanna cut 0m dora! it deals in here but the way we can reason this being safe is either as (1) 2m suji since kamicha/toimen both have 7m cut or (2) 36m hasn’t been cut ONCE this round. maybe option (2) has more water here.

I was hesitating on 7m for some reason… like what if kamicha was honitsu manzu? Doesn’t explain the 2 8ms coming out so early i guess.

i think this is actually more efficient?

funny how 4p isnt on here but in my mind i was like there’s no way i get 5p here so i chucked 4p back. it’s technically 1shanten…. but i dont like it… so i chose 2 shanten and fucked myself

heartbrake

lol lmao

my mind is i can’t riichi so my best possible hand is pinfu junchan sanshoku 123. so that’s why I did what I did. it’s not the most efficient but I can’t fuck around with cheap hands.

sorry dude im on a mission

chii 3p feels so bad man but it has to be done

pushing 2s is 100% the choice here. the question is, dama or riichi? our only useful upgrade is 7s, of which there’s only two left — both 3p and 5p put us in furiten, so the obvious answer is palm slam riichi!

get fucked idiot

see you on the next episode of jade room specials

I’m sick ;_;

But I won’t overeat just because I feel like shit…!

Anyway, I paid money to find out I’m fat! Well not technically… previous me from 2021 bought these in advance… but I never used them until now… thanks dude…

mfw the numbers have only gotten worse and worse

Umm yup I’m fat! I’m actually surprised my lean tissue hasn’t dropped off a cliff since I haven’t lifted at all since then… but we can only go up from here right haha. I think we can do these on a quarterly basis, so we’ll do another one in May 2026!

Since we’re making self-improvements, let’s also improve our mindfulness! Mindfulness is the ability to focus on the task at hand. Supposedly, engaging fully let’s you concentrate, perform better and find enjoyment and fulfillment in your tasks. Suppose you were reading a really good cunny doujin… then your friend messages you some tweet about how Epstein was diddling kids in some new e-mail found wherever the fuck. You’d be like bruh and close that shit but now you’re all soft and sad. Not ideal!

let me show you how good i am at multitasking

But maybe that example isn’t ideal… I’m thinking more like you’re in a game of mahjong and DAMN my hand is simple and easy and I’m 1 shanten let me go look check for new posts or pictures of cute anime girls and WHAT the fuck he called riichi how do I defend am I defending ahh

So new rules for me is to NOT have chat/web browser/file explorer/audio player windows open. Pick one good song, set it on repeat and don’t fuck with it until the hanchan is over. You can look at whatever the fuck you want after. Now, you just pick the god damn best discard you can one at a time.

the guy playing like this wants to talk to you about mindfulness

And? I think it’s useful so far – I’m looking around more at tedashi/tsumogiri, particularly more after they’ve opened their hand, paying more attention to discards that are unsafe as signals for pushing/damaten, and using actually using my turn clock because I notice there’s more things to think about! Maybe this will help me make it to the next level…!

thinking man’s -24 point sashikomi

Unironically though I do need to use my phone less… it’s the cope escape when I don’t wanna do what I wanna do… so for now I am trying putting my phone not near my bed to make me actually get out of bed when I wake up! I know… stunning and brave… but let’s try our best!

hmm… maybe i am too attached to dora? seems like a clear cut iishanten here rather than hypothetically drawing 3p and staying 1shanten versus just drawing 3p and calling riichi on 5p

thought maybe i can swing it tan yao…. it kinda worked but yeah its not efficient at all AND i’m still cutting 1p anyway

yeah we already tested 4s so suji 1s is better no need to test 8m i thought about this like two turns later

in my mind i thought if i need to cut 9s later it’ll be safer… but I still cut the 6s first… how does that work? TRUE

I ended up with 2p and then 3z because I can see 3 3p… just suji 3m!

i realized this after i tossed 1m…. 123334m lets me use 25m ryanmen while preserving 3p acceptance on 112p. I think I had one of these errors maybe 2 or 3 days ago hehe didn’t learn

if i break 22z I’m… 2 shanten to fighting with maybe pinfu dora? not a big fan of this at 4.2% agari rate per naga tbh. 2z is likely pretty safe but i don’t feel like i need to test the waters just yet. thanks kagashi for having my back

CHANTA? WITH A 0M IN HAND? ……… eh……………….? I guess our max value is chanta sanshoku dora for mangan so ok… it’s so far though…

true. hatsu is only once cut

ok yeah but what if i get into a position to attack and rinshan tsumo? I think the 2s riichi discard tile puts 1s shanpon in play so that’s probably why it doesn’t like 1s here.

I ain’t cutting 2p to that shit i fold lol

this makes sense if i wanna cut pei…. but i don’t wanna cut pei…

I’m glad we agree on kan to try to fuck shimocha over. hell yeah

come on bro i wanna be sneaky beaky like and pretend it isn’t hon itsu yet! what are the odds i actually draw haku here after it’s once cut? let’s be real. ok fine

the argument here is most likely because we stand to benefit if toimen can pon pei to end kamicha’s dealership. I’m not sure he’d do that though given the point score…. btu I can see it but I’m also not thinking about that yet.

sucks lol

yeah this hand sucks and we have to chiitoi so i should have tried to be more efficient here on just the raw numbers

stinky!

1s will come out no matter what, but if I riichi it’s no longer a safe tile. I’m thinking hatsu is an okay tile to throw against that riichi… but technically, isn’t 6z a better discard against two riichis? ooh now you’re thinking

oops 2p is genbutsu. but why does ヒバカリ want to toss 5p instead of 2p? because we are folding entirely.

bro there’s no tedashis since 3z came out… but if we follow this approach, there is NO chance of being ronned on 6z, whereas we will have a chance of being ronned on 3z the turn after. But if we do it in the order I did it (3z >>> 6z), we have a chance to get ronned on both discards. ok this is seriously minmaxxing lol but i see it

muh tanyao brain. but you don’t have tan yao if you drop 99s… but how else am i going to use the dora?

ok 9s is technically less efficient… but i wanna use the dora!!! ahh

so if i still had the 99s this could have been riichi ippatsu LOL ok you got me shit

anyway i was thinking if i ruin my hand here my only genbutsu is 0p. hand is technically mangan if i can win, so might be worth a shot since there is “value” in the hand on winning 4m riichi ron or dama tsumo. 2m is low risk… but I guess I also don’t need to “do or die” vs dealer riichi just yet

I was thinking chiitoi here since I have isolated 2s dora… but if I have a pair of 2p, that makes 1p better for chiitoi… so what the fuck are you thinking…?

ok so the moment this 2s came out after he chii’d 4p, in my mind it was like OK. he’s tenpai now. time to fold. so I start with genbutsu 2s. I should have tossed 2p though because he’s already done with his lower pinzu block for his hand (i did NOT think about this during the match and only see it retroactively) by calling 423p chii and not keeping the 5p overflow from the turn before (I found this is a long roundabout way to say 2p is suji).

luckily for me… i pick the 2s back up… and I was like wait… I can attack his hand…

hooray

let’s think about our riichi chase judgment more carefully

also, I played this game right after waking up and held myself to not fuck around on any other windows (internet/chat/changing music). I did find myself using thinking time more effectively and observing other players push / call more carefully. let’s see if we can fix our attention span.

uhhh…….. sanmenchan bros….

ok SURE double ton would be nice but how realistic is it? ):

i want tenpai. 3p is urasuji to the 2p riichi by shimocha but i really wanna fight for the points on the board. the other two snakes have my back lol

i guess 6s isn’t that good. 7s is furiten on 8s but what if i draw 0s????

i thought hatsu was very fishy tile and naga seems to agree. perhaps picking 1p for chiitoi is better than 3p whatever the fuck tenpai by a little bit

i wanted to richi cause 56m seems like it’s being held by everyone. I have like 2 safe tiles to toimen and 2 safe tiles to kamicha but they’re all different. so i figured let’s be the aggressor!

owned idiot

im like… slightly fantasizing about hon itsu… but 8p cut does put me 1shanten so ok i see it. I chose 1s over 2s because maybe if I draw 4s i can move to 45s ryanmen since I still need help with my hand.

145 is worse than 1224. what if you draw two 3ms, hmmm????? maybe in ur dreams

chun is a once cut honor vs nan being entirely live. OK

owned noob

im HUNGRY while playing this game btw

ok theyre both once cut my bad

i dont wanna cut live dora are you mad

i guess its mangan tenpai……… suuankou iishanten… but cutting dora against IPPATSU chance man youre crazy

EDIT: nvm i take it back why did i think 8m was safe LOL

i wanted to riichi this cause if you’re gonna defend you’d definitely cut xia for sure lol. there’s also like no practical upgrade path, like 79m or 89m. but can you really call that an ‘upgrade’?

i wasn’t that itching to win the hand so i dont wanna widen the gap… but we can just improve to 1shanten! is it too early to be playing like a pussy?

idk i felt like manzu was open hehe ok

1p is pretty safe….. but ton is SAFER…

sakigiri 4p. if i draw pinzu its not really an upgrade. plus sanshoku is far.

lets fucking go sashikomi

i felt like dora tanki is a little too aggressive… but i also have 6 safe tiles to fall back on…

hooray we are moving on up in the world

https://naga.dmv.nico/htmls/ff286aa7122af115eac368d1b0f5aa386b26a7b94c7abc3fe175dd0f9a5f9247v2_2.html?tw=0

uhh sanshoku 678? it’s a stretch but i guess drawing 7p for 78p is better than drawing 3m for 23m because it lacks 147m adjacency

five block theory: (34m)(788m)(2p)(55p)(79p)(3s)(99s)(1z). therefore 2p > 3s > 1z in risk order leaving 34788m5579p99s. five blocks

I’d feel this one later was bad as i realized my tenpai was dead after drawing 6m… I can’t draw a 9s at this point so 557p has 6 tiles available whereas 579p has 8 tiles visible to complete that shape. wow math is good

i just floundered on shanpon 55p99s looking to improve 4p or 8s to get back into pinfu.. it’s riichi dora 2 for 7700 and all 4 are ‘alive’ so yeah bad call to not doing anything here

I wanted to kill dora first since I already knew I wanted to do chin itsu here… tossing ton covers my tracks… but perhaps 9s is still a reasonable discard here

from before wanting to kill dora first… but if i draw 3s am I really that sad? It’s still 1shanten to riichi dora 2 so I shouldn’t have fixated chin itsu here

I guess we can say ‘don’t riichi’ to preserve the lead here in case of danger? hand is cheap anyway on shanpon so its not like im getting much value here anyway. but I don’t think the point gap is that big enough yet to turtle.

fixing 567 sanshoku earlier? i guess 3444 shape is stronger than 35s shape

valueless wind > terminal for discard order

I called chii here on accident.. should have been pon… i like tan dora 2 here but since i’m in the lead in s4 i don’t need more points anymore.

is 1s a better ‘safe tile’ than pei? i don’t actually want to rely on my guest wind…

if i didn’t call the 5p i wouldn’t deal in on my own overflow 5p :^)

lone terminal > value honor for discard order

congratulations you’re dogshit!!!
