East 1-1
I have 5 blocks already… is 7p too aggressive for sakigiri here? I guess 6p upgrade but I think 3344m, 34s, 779s, 22z are my blocks here but I guess I shouldn’t be so rigid about it
Chii here because I think I can pick up 2z pretty easily down the line and it’s dora. Brings my hand to 2000 nan dora vs 1000 nan nomi…?
Just sakigiri things since again I have my blocks set. Middling difference anyway
Bro IDK man fuck you
East 2-1
Legit error, just tossing wind while I was walking :^)
I did think about this one…. there is the potential for sanshoku 234 but I’d rather take the riichi opportunity if I draw 7s
I dont think I’m folding yet so 8p vs 9s is the debate. The early 4p and my ability to see 3 8s makes me think 9s is safer to discard (Naga feels the same) but dumping 8p seems too risky here to me (I would put the tenpai it on 58p or 69p based on the early 4p discard)
I’m not riichiing this go away
East 3-1
Value honor vs isolated terminal… OK
I guess I could be thinking about chiitoi earlier? If I drew 8s I’d shoot myself though. Trying to still keep options open here
I don’t understand this one – keeping 8p leaves me furiten on 7p draw, and once cut for chiitoi – 1m lets me use 2m for normal hand and is not cut at all so far. Am I trying to be careful of shimocha with the 5m cut?
Both 3m and 7s are genbutsu to shimocha riichi. I suppose 9p cut from toimen indicates possible danger since that’s a push tile, so 7s also protects against toimen if he was tenpai already.
East 3-2
Sanshoku potential if we keep 6s? I feel like we have our blocks set already and I don’t need to dangle a loose tile… drawing 12p lets me switch to pinfu over ton pair for riichi.
Same… I ended up cutting the 2p to riichi after on 7p draw so I guess I really don’t need the 2p?????
East 4-1
Value Wind vs Isolated Terminal. OK
Wrong dragon discard order (less chuns visible = higher haku uradora rate)
Not sure what I was going for here… 33m pair isn’t secure here so cutting the 9s is going back a step here. OK
No difference for me… I suppose 1p is safer vs shimocha if we get later into the round?
South 2-1
I am thinking chin itsu here but I think getting nan is pretty low rate and I wanna try to conceal my discards a little bit… I do agree pure efficiency though cutting 4p/4s is better but I opted to go for a tiny bit of misdirection from away from manzu hand
Tsumo… rest of the differences are indifferent to me for pinzu/souzu discard order
South 2-1
Value Dragon vs Round Wind. OK
This makes sense to me from a pure efficiency standpoint – I was fantasizing of drawing another 5p for san an kou but this makes sense…
Trash riichi but it is worth 7700… I can’t take it. I will hope to find another wait down the line.
Got the 4p anyway in the end (or from shimocha twice) but dugout the 23s. So Lucky
South 2-2
Fuck You
I know 2234s lets me chii 2s/5s from kamicha but I wanted to take my chances on drawing 3p/5p instead. Plus if I draw 3s I’ll be ready sad if I furiten myself on 1s.
South 2-3
Indifferent… I want to be away from 7p iipeikou on 789p since 9p is pretty dead. Also helps with 0p acceptance.
I’m thinking tan yao here… I do have 4 pair chiitoi but should I really be thinking about tanyao if I have the 789p block?
Indifferent. I would rather deal the nan now and have someone pon it rather than get ronned on it later. Plus hatsu is my pocket safe tile for later.
South 3-3
Once cut seat wind vs uncut dragon – Ehhhhhhhhhh OK… I don’t usually adjust for discarded winds/dragons until they’re two cut in opening hand efficiency but I guess we can start.
I just want to end the round quickly here… I don’t see additional value here beyond picking up more dora so I want to open up for it. Pretty far for riichi too so I will take the speed here.
But somehow I wanted to go for Hon itsu here… lol if I wanted to do that I should have held on to all my wind tiles right :^)
Rest of differences are wanting to toss 1m earlier. OK i agree in hindsight but switching to hon itsu would have been sick
South 4-1
Value honor vs terminal – OK
I do want the 24m block for tan yao but what if I draw 1p/3p for pinfu/riichi? Normal me would just do 1p and force tan yao immediately but I’m trying to be smart ):
Arguably 2s has no value for me since we have 2 1s cut already… OK
I don’t wanna cut 5s in case shimocha needs it…
I did think about this and opted for 8m vs 7m since it would be harder for shimocha to chii 8m vs 7m… I’d end up picking another 8m after |:
Close enough…
gg dude
End
It’s ok; Could argue my riichi in East 3 cost me the end but there’s no way you don’t riichi that hand.
Points to Consider
- Value Honors > Isolated Terminals
- Place more value on 5200/7700 non-oya/oya shit wait riichis?
- Feigning misdirection is not worth it on hon/chin itsu hands (I know this already but I didn’t commit to it in South 2-1 by throwing the nan early)
See you next time
