A while ago I remember someone posting a cheat card that helped scoring / figuring out fu. Does anyone have a copy of that?

I posted my Riichi reference cards in this post, in case that's what you were recalling? For completeness (and additional promotion), I'll re-post the links here: In other news, I've been playing a lot of sanma lately, and ranked up to Master II. But at the same time, I've neglected my yonma game and ranked back down to Expert III.  While my deal-in rate and average deal-in score are okay, my win rate is well below what should be healthy. My call rate is also much lower than the average, and despite the fact that I favor the closed-hand lifestyle, my riichi rate is also lower than average. Hopefully my next advance from Expert III to Master I is faster than it was the first time, and that I can start figuring out ways to improve.

I've been productive lately, and recently finished up an infographic guide on folding techniques in Riichi Mahjong: You can also grab a higher-quality PDF of the primer here: (LINK) A little background on the motivations for this project. I saw floating around a different infographic on defense in Riichi Mahjong, based off of the content in Daina Chiba's Riichi Book 1. So it had that book's tile tier list, a brief guideline on what tiers should be discarded at different levels of pushing, and some short descriptions of suji, blockades, and no-chance safety. But one big omission from that infographic was the concept of the safety of sotogawa (outside tiles) relative to early discards. There's a short blurb on relative outside tile safety in Riichi Book 1, but not much attention is put on the defensive concept. So there are two major goals of my own infographic: to increase awareness of relative sotogawa safety, and to provide some explanation for what makes defensive concepts work (albeit to less detail than a book would provide). There's a reason why I've called my primer a guide on folding, rather than on how to play defense. First of all, I have focused the guide on techniques that help identify tiles that will be safer to discard, and excluded techniques related to identifying tiles that might be more risky to discard. This includes concepts like ura suji, matagi suji, and general discard and call reading. Additionally, I decided to not put any guidance on push/fold judgement, or what tiles are acceptable to discard at different levels of pushing. If I'm going to be putting out a guide that takes the form of an image, instead of a book, then there's a limit to how much information I can include in it. While those omitted topics might be useful, they'll also require a lot more space to cover satisfactorily. Ultimately, I feel like it's better to keep a tight focus and have a stronger thesis, than do the format I've chosen a poor service. But maybe you disagree, and think that I should be adding an additional column or two of techniques to the infographic. Or maybe there's something in the infographic that you think needs adjustment. If you've got any comments to make now before I post it to a wider space on Reddit, I'm all ears. MrBlarney fucked around with this message at 08:50 on Feb 23, 2024 |

I think I mostly play with all of that in mind already, and I did read that book you referenced, but it's really nice to see things laid out so nicely. Awesome!

 Living the dream. Waiting for a north for 13 orphans in Sanma! Got a tsumo though before I could do the rudest manoeuvre.  Also, is one of you praying for me? Please stop. I'm getting too powerful. Like I did a kan just out of the slightest chance I could tsumo a hellwait and it happened??!?

Another success story for my interthread TPC make games accessible project: I decided to hop on to mahjong soul for a quick game to test how accurate I could be with my new eye tracker and the talon voice program which allows me to click by making a popping noise. Not only did it work great, I actually got a hell of a win off of a sweet seven pairs.

Just started playing a few days ago and finally had a game i was happy with. Working on reducing my 81% call rate and managed to win this one by riichiing every round and never lost the dealer spot. I need to learn the discard strats because there's been plenty of games where it looked like i had a really good start with overlapping groups and i'm sure i managed to gently caress up trying to decide which tile is best to discard in 5 seconds. Also had a game where this happened:  His name made me think of this https://i.imgur.com/ipXSDTY.mp4

With the 5 free pulls we have gotten (or maybe 4 free pulls and one with some leftover jade I had?) I managed to pull Eliisa and one of the collab characters. Nice to see my long, long dry spell is settling back to the mean

Going into south 2, my dealer, in sanma, I had precisely zero score, someone had just tsumo'd and left me with nothin. Not negative though. Somehow I pulled out a second place, and it felt like winning, funniest poo poo there is, the person who was in second has to have felt awful as I kept winning lovely small and medium hands.

Boooooooooooooooooooy it feels bad when you get an unlucky streak. Someone called Riichi after only a handful of tiles, I discard next, they immediately Ron off me for 18000 I always feel bad when I Ron off the same person multiple times a game. It feels extra bad when someone does that to me.

It's not about bravery or cowardice, it's about strategic play. My open tanyao + red five 2 han value hand simply requires that extra 10 fu.

I keep seeing people avoid calling Riichi and then calling Ron on a closed, non-Riichi hand and it’s annoying the crap out of me!!!!!

It's sometimes the right thing to do, especially if you're already at haneman limit, easier to avoid people folding. But doing it when you've got like, pinfu and a single dora and hey it's...okay, a couple thousand, wtf are you doing

IMO dama hands have strategic importance rather than tactical. If it's more important that you win at all rather than winning big, that's when you dama.

Most of my dama wins aren't even intentional, it's because I have a lovely wait I don't want to riichi on and I'm trying to improve it or just stay in ten for the draw and someone drops the lovely tile anyway.

One of the dama hands I played against recently won the round with a hand of seven pairs. I assume he didn't riichi so he had mobility to swap out one of the pairs if needed. Dama still makes me mad!

The tiles have been trolling me lately.  Neither materialized  . But maybe it is better to be on a wait to a yakuman and fail than to never wait at all?
