Further more, 3m can make triple sequence.

Even under this condition, double Riichi is suprerior  to backing to one before for ready in statistical analysis.

So, in most cases, you remember " double Riichi is better".

The way to resolve Furi-ten

 

Answer

Commentary

The way to resolve Furi-ten

This ready hand can win by only East.

This calling is called "valuable tile back" 

(I don't know why we call this "back", and I have no idea to say in English.)

Back is very good way, because you can make ready hand with keeping safety tile.

Instead, it sometimes happened Furious-ten like this.

How do you resolve this??

If you discard 2s directory, you can win by only self drawing East.

It is too difficult.

Further more, If you call pong, you can't make ready hand.

In this case, you broke the sequence, you can ready hand again by calling pong East.

Meaning of discarding 2 in early round

 

Answer

Safe tile    

Dangerous tile

Commentary

Meaning of discarding 2 in early round

The first three rounds of the game are very informative.

The meaning of discarding 2 is that

① Dosen't wait for 1-4m

②Very probable to have 5m

① depends on the round of call for Riichi.

In case discarding 2m at 2 round but calling Riichi at 4 round, 1-4m is dangerous.

This hand, ①＋② → 4-7m or 3-6m is most dangerous.

If I had only one day left to live, I sure to eat "SukiYaki"

This is "Araiya"'s sukiyaki.

Set goals and move on

 

Answer

Commentary

There are 3 pairs ＋ 1 triplet in this hand.

You never exclude 7 pairs and All triplets, finally 4 concealed triplets.

SO you must not discard 4m, and east.

East is only one tile so far but it is important because you are east seat.

If you draw one more wast, your hand get more 2 roles so called double-east.

And win by All triplets＋Double east, you get 8000 points.

4p and 5s have possibility to triple sequences, 3 4 5 or 4 5 6.

2s is most useless.

If you draw 3s in early round, you can't get any role, even flat hand.

If you draw

3m (Dora) 　　　→  Riichi ＋Dora

East          　　　→  All triplet

One more pair　  → 7 pairs

3 4 5p or s            →Triple sequences

 

leaving 2s is most halfway.

Retrogress to one before for ready

 

Answer

Commentary

In 11 rounds, Kanchan (gut-shot) win rate is only 34% and deal in rate is 15%.

→refference 

You have enough point, and the game is close to end.

In this case, you had better not to call for Riichi waiting bad form and low score.

If you win by  this hand, you got only 2600 pt.

Further more, when the other player win by self draw, you have to pay more 1000pt (Riich fee).

So, The risk/reward is not balanced in case you call for Riichi.

You had better to look to the final form that can win concealed or can win even if you call for pong or chow.

If you discard 7p and retrogress one before for ready,  you can win in concealed when you draw 2m, 3m, 6,m, and 4p.

Even if not so, you can call for chow 2m, 3m, 6m. 

Especially, if you can call for 2m, you can wait by Ryan-men. 

 

Indeed, this hand win by calling for chow 2m, and self-draw 3m.
