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!
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 worseand 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

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

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…
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 :^)
I’m on team useless terminal is better than useless guest wind… which is it? I guess 3z is safer to keep for later, technically speaking
uh…………….. sakigiri? I guess if we draw 7s 1355678s is better than 135567s and let’s us use the 50s pair… ok
I guess we didn’t need to greed hon itsu and 1s is dead… I think maybe if I had a better fixed pair it’d be fine but I suppose we can’t rely on getting 7z here. so I bricked my hand by moving to hon itsu. Not that I would get 4p7p anyway lol
m-muh 3p acceptance…. ok…
I was scared of toimen being tenpai so I went for the 2m cut… 7p cut lets us take tenpai on 234m34s so… ok fine… alternatively, if toimen needed 7p he already had TWO chances to call chii…
TRUE
this would have actually saved my bacon so many times over… lol
I got overly fixated on getting the 345s sanshoku in… chun would come out later somehow but I felt it was locked and didn’t want to get into atozuke here. But at least I’d be tenpai!
pon and then 2s/5s for keiten attempt? I REALLY don’t want to cut 8m here but I suppose I could get a chance if I make the call here. 2s/5s are pretty safe here so it’s probably worth a shot
I think both 1s and 9s are superfluous… like if I draw 2s I cut 1s and if i draw 7s i cut 9s… the result is also the same if I draw 5s (134568s vs 345689s)… I’m too stupid to understand the nuance on this one lol
tan yao brain not taking in 79s kanchan. OK. but what if I draw 7p, huh???????
I guess we technically have 5 blocks already (455m, 99m, 56p, 24s, 33z)… but it’s not like haku is really doing me any favors either…? ok after thinking about it 3m draw furitens me so ok fine
furiten 1m
this is interesting that naga thinks 4m is safer than 9m… the only reason I really picked 9m is because every other tile is bad and keeps me in tanyao if my draws improve if i catch 3s or something to move into tenpai. so, only from a pure offensive point of view did i opt for 9m. let’s call it…… dumb luck?
terminal < value honor
terminal < value honor
sakigiri mainly…. MAYBE you can draw 68p to upgrade but can I just draw 459s instead?
(change of pov)
toimen made the first move of his unraveling here. why would you cut dora here?????????????????????????????? just fold you’re so far in the lead man
I was thinking I could fill in the 246p really easily… I think this makes more sense lol
might actually be retarded????????? lol I think i overfixated in the 456 sanshoku and missed the 1shanten here
cause this could have been tsumo tan dora 2000 all instead of tenpai… haha…
(change of pov)
2nd move of toimen’s undoing. why the FUCK would you toss live dora into two riichis. (i’m just mad it wasn’t my riichi he dealt into tbh)
worthless honor < terminal
thank god for houtei or we’d go to west 1!
think the biggest bonehead mistake was not taking the 23455588m shape on south 2. let’s continue to work to improve
i was second guessing myself here after as toimen would tsumogiri drop 3p the turn after but kamicha would drop 5m a little bit later. both felt loose honestly even though 4p is ponned by shimocha
I was thinking iipeikou chance if I draw another 2s… since I already cut the 7s 8s has no value anymore… right? or wrong? lol
I figured I would just take the 1shanten chiitoi vs 2/3shanten normal hand? if I cut 4m I’m still MINIMUM 2shanten on 35678m3p14s… I think I’m missing the san/suu an kou potential here for mangan+ and settling for a 1600 point hand. ok I guess that makes sense in that regard
I suppose 9p is a better chiitoi wait than 4m23s. it’s also sotogawa to my 7p. OK
lone terminal < value honor
I should have fixed the 3p earlier. even if I draw 369p it does nothing so let’s keep the 1z genbutsu earlier
terminal < value honor
my reasoning here is both 5z and 7z are useless, so I want to retain the safer one……. even if I draw 5z pair I’d be kinda sad soooooooooooooooo indifferent to me? on the other hand it does put me at 4 pairs for chiitoi so maybe I shouldn’t think like that and I need to abandon this genbutsu holding mindset
lone terminal < once cut seat wind
I was like let me cut my 8m before it’s too late… but his pond suggesting manzu honitsu should mean you SHOULDN’T do that… it’s not like my hand is going anywhere and I should have folded way earlier lol
letting go of pei here is kinda dumb in hindsight lol what am I winning with this dogshit
trying to fold… My reasoning for 8p being the discard is 3 6p cut and shimocha already chii’d 978p so he’s out of upper manzu. but the BETTER way to approach this is the only way to be tenpai on 4p is 4p tanki since I have the 5p kabe in my hand, so that is a better way out here
I was like… I can still accept 7s in 3556s… but 5567899s would be a way stronger 1shanten shape than 3556799s… OK
I was thinking I didn’t need another pair so i can fill in the 1356s shape…. I think keeping the additional pair to expand the pinzu side is better now
i guess 133s is better than 99s. ok
i REALLY don’t want to atozuke dora honor… lol
I guess I don’t have enough fixed blocks yet to cut lone stuff yet
i guess we can fix itsu over breaking lone tiles still here
valueless guest wind < terminal. but my idea is ton still gives me pinfu so MUH SAFE TILE…
i’m not riiching this bro sorry it’s 5200 yasume 7700 takame im good with that this late in the game. plus i can upgrade to sanshoku on 7s :^)
i wanted the 9p to try to fix the sanshoku on 69m but we can just take tanyao to be safer here. we don’t need more points here in south 3 so we should just be wide for tenpai. plus i destroy my 3m acceptance for riichi nomi
discard inside out – but what if i draw 5s???????????
getting mixed messages on if i should atozuke dora yakuhai or not :^)
ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh close enough i think i could settle for tan dora here. potential for tanpin sanshoku dora is there but it feels so distant
TRUE
trying to fold to shimocha while somewhat keeping a hand here. i didn’t get the feeling that anyone else was tenpai just yet
): i guess there’s no real improvement anyway…
I guess we should save the pei for later. it doesn’t seem like it but 9p can become live if shimocha draws 14s
idk maybe i can get lucky to move into tenpai off 7m here later. it’s not like i would toss 56p ANYWAY to anything here so i’m for it. thanks kagashi for backing me up
I’m not that scared of haku here…. maybe I should be? lol
I would have ippatsumo’d 5p…. but really riichi here is kinda wild lol. I guess this way if anyone else cuts it I can ron since if I drop 5p it’s pretty bad myself
Idk i dont think they’re that different…..? sanshoku i guess but thats so far
i didn’t want to fully fold yet but 5m nakasuji is better for sure
is my hand more or less alive if i cut 5m?
oops lol
i didn’t like 25m suji anymore after 6m pon so i went with 8s suji on 5s. as expected naga does think 3m suji is more dangerous than 8s and i do have somewhat ‘valid’ fear of 5m to kamicha
uhhh……. muh chiitoi… both are pretty useless though
lets me utilize 7m tenpai if i keep 9m. whereas 2m does nothing for me really
i’d end up drawing 8m dora after this lol fuck
this was kinda boneheaded and for some reason i was like why is this hand worth 7700??? it already looks like honitsu ANYWAY which would be 7700 and i can fold out 3p to the end so yeah bad move on my part. i just saw tenpai and was like SURE!
