Flat hand > 7 pairs

 

Answer

Commentary

Flat hand is superior to 7 pairs, especially when the hand is all simples.

Because the final form of 7 pairs  always wait by single wait that is only 3 tiles.

Furthermore, 2~8 suits is usually in the another players hand, at least 1~2 tiles.

So there are very few tiles in the wall.

If you are look to flat hand, that means , you have a lot of Ryanmen, you should give up looking to 7 pairs.

Flat hand > 7 pairs, In another words, Ryanmen > single wait.

In this hand,  what should we discard ??

The point is that where is the candidate of the mahjong head ??

And avoid to backfire.

Of course, not to look to Double-double-Sequence.

If you discard 3m, you can call Pong 2m or 4p, and make all simples.

(It is easier to call Pong 2m than 3m. )

3 3 4p can make sequence or triplets, so you should leave .

Avoid to backfire

 

Answer

Commentary

Considering to backfire

You have to choice to leave Two Ryanmen from the three.

How different of the three?? 

Of course, if there are apparent difference tiles of 4-7 in the river already, you should discard the Ryanmen waiting for fewest 4-7. 

When you find the equal tiles of 4-7 in the river, how do you think about ??

Theory is that, "Avoid to backfire".

This means that when you draw backfire, you make it means good for the hand.

In this case,  to draw 4-7p is backfire, after you discard 5p.

But, drawing 4p can have this hand All simples, and drawing 7p can have this hand Flat hand.

Avoid to backfire is all you will draw make your hand better.

Nobe Tan ~The exception for the timing to fix mahjong head~

 

Answer

Commentary

Exception for the timing to fix mahjong head

Last archive, I mentioned that in one before for ready hand, the fastest procedure is to fix the head.  →Road to Flat hand.

This comes from the Tanki wait (single wait) is the very week on the final form. 

The exception of this is Dobble single wait (Nobe-Tan) . 

This hand is very similar to the hand in last archive.

The difference is in the Souzu part, this hand doesn't have middle surplus but have 4 consecutive　（→commentary of 4 consecutive；The goal of mahjong = How to make a double-sided wait）

This form has a weaker than middle surplus than in that this form has a risk not to become Ryanmen.

For example, if you have 3 4 5 6 , you draw 1 or 8.

But the strong point of 4 consecutive form is that this form can wait as Nobe Tan which is double single wait. 

In this case, if Pinzu part complete first, you can wait for multi-tiles ; 2-5s. 

When you have a head, middle surplus superior to 4 consecutive form in terms of it can wait by Ryanmen definitely.

But when you don't have a head, 4 consecutive form is very strong as a candidate of final form of Ryanmen or Nobe-tan.

I love OKONOMIYAKI very much, and do you know this ??

I think this is a "perfect nutrition food" .

This is made from flour=carbohydrate, cabbage=dietary fiber , and pork=protein＋fat.

Do you know any better food than this ??

Road to Flat hand

 

Answer

Commentary

This is similar to "How to make Ryan men".

The difference is that there were no head in this hand.

So you should fix the complex serial pair to the head.

You have a middle surplus, so  first candidate of final form is waiting in Souzu . 

On the way to waiting 1 2 4 5s, if you draw 4p or 6p, you can call for Riichi. 

When you draw 3s, you had better discard it, and wait for 1 2 4 5s and 4 6p again.

Remember that, in one before for ready hand, the fastest procedure is to fix the head.

This is true in a wide range of situations.

I am praying that the weather will clear up soon and that there will be no casualties.

The way to catch All Simples

Leave an exchangeable for terminals

It seems equal whichever you choice.

This form is frequently seen, so you remember in a fixed form.

If you have a triple side wait (1-4-7, or 3-6-9)　＋　lined pair (33 66, or 44 77)  ; only 2 pattern

・pattern1 

1-4-7 waiting ＋ 33 66 (this case) 

23456789 ＋3 6 pair ＝ 2 3 3 4 5 6 6 7 8 9 

・pattern2 

3-6-9 waiting ＋44 77 

12345678 ＋4 4 pair＝1 2 3 4 4 5 6 7 7 8 

you Should leave an  exchangeable for terminals ; that is 6 or 4.

So you must discard 3 or 7.

The reason is there is a difference in drawing 7 (pattern1) or 3(pattern2).

In this case, when you draw 7  if you discard 6 is below

3 is leftover tile, and you miss all simples.

If you have discarded 3 first, your hand is below when you draw 7 

you  can discard 9 instead of 6, and you can get All simples.

 It's a small detail, but the degree to which you take these considerations into account will make a difference in your mahjong skills.

If you want to become an advanced player, this is the basic knowledge you need.

The way to deal with complex serial pair

 

Answer

Commentary

The way to deal with complex serial pair

At first glance, It seems equal to discarding 3p and 2s, in terms of both of them are 1-4 waiting.

The form of like this serial pair (which is one before for elements)  is called  "Complex serial pair".

Because these form can become either triplet or sequence.

From the point of view of this serial number as one before for sequence,  they are equal .

But if we see this serial pair as a pair to triplet, 2 is easier to call Pong than 3.

In this case, you have a 2 Dora, and player wind.

You should win this game by any means.

Had better call not only 1-4, but also 8m or 2s.

Exception of Chow theory

 

Answer

Commentary

Exception of Chow theory

In the yesterday's article, Chow theory is "Call a bad form and leave a good form".

Beginners may get confused, so be careful.

This form is similar to the form that is in yesterday's article, but in this case, you should not call Penchan, but Ryanmen.

If you call with 1 2p, the leftover form is below

This hand is ready for waiting with only 4 7p.

And if you call with 4 5p, you can wait by triple-sided wait (1-4-7p)

What difference are there in this case and yesterday's case ??

How do we think at calling ??

Of course, you should think case by case , but one principle is that, 

"Complicated single wait is the exception of Chow theory"   

This is worth remembering.
