Trick Riichi is strong

 

Answer

Commentary

Discarding 4 and waiting 7 is called Moro(completely) Hikkake (trick).

This is relatively strong method.

In the rule of including red Dora,  expected value of waiting 5 is a little bit higher than others.

Even with that, winning rate of this trick is strong statistically.

Especially, It's even more effective when used for following Riichi.

The players who don't have safety tile will discard, and it is too difficult to have common safety tile for multi player.

Answer

Commentary

All simples should be preferred over 7 pairs.

If you discard 6s, this hand is one before for ready.

But one before for ready hand of 7 pairs is long and difficult road to ready hand.

It accept only 9 tiles.

Especially, all of the left tiles are from 3 to 5 ; 3m, 5m, 5p (Dora indicator tile).

If most tile of your hand are 2~8, you should look to all simples without hesitation.

Double Riichi of bad form or look to good form

Answer

Riichi

Commentary

Double Riichi of bad form of look to good form

If you discard 8p, you can create good form(multi wating) by drawing 3 4 5 6 7 8m＋2 3 4 5 6 p＋2 5s . 

 

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.
