Greetings!
Guess what? I’ve found some new Tenhou screenshots to discuss!
1. TENPAI IMPROVEMENT
Is it better to insta-Riichi or wait to improve our hand?
I won’t consider keeping 3p because of 1p in our discards.
23 234 55667
145678 are our tiles of interest.
3x1s
2x4s
1x5s
1x6s
4x8s
11 tiles in total which normally is enough to take a shot at damaten. The problem is that our final wait will not be that much better than the current one. Our best option seems to be the 3-sided wait after we draw 47s. Drawing 58s will give Pinfu but we lose Tanyao & miss Iipeiko if we win on yasume 1s.
All in all, I think insta-Riichi may just be better in this case. If there are any flaws in my thinking, please let me know!
2. RIICHI JUDGEMENT
Do you insta Riichi such hands as Oya? I think waiting to get shanpon tenpai on Hatsu + something else may be a better option.
3. WAIT VS VALUE
I think that if the points were even, taking that 3-sided wait would be better but since we’re in 4th place it’s better to take a shot at Sanshoku & discard 78p. I’m not sure about this judgement, though since it’s still early in the Hanchan.
4. PUSH/FOLD
It’s already S2 and I think it’s better to beatori. Kamicha’s Tsumo will keep us close to the other guys. Dealing in is just bad. We have two genbutsu which is enough to kick-off defense.
5. PUSH/FOLD
Oya Riichi is always dangerous but our hand is quite flexible. We have Dora ankou & calling ability. I think it’s ok to push 1p.
6. PUSH/FOLD
3s is one-chance so I think 2s is ok for pushing. Not sure about Riichi. Our wait is kinda bad so I think it’s better to dama.
That’s all for today.
May Yakuman be with you!
