I'm confident I can beat Saki in a fistfight.

>>14600053
Let's not get carried away here.

3:0 forever

>riichi'ing when a person has a visible 3 dora.
Clearly a winning strategy.

>>14600191
No need to be so serious anon it was just L7447.

Why did you throw the red 5 instead of the 8 man?

I got very good draws and pulled off two nasty ippatsu suji traps on him after he dama-ronned me for 11600.

>>14600345
Is there a guarantee he lost 8 R from losing though?

>>14600356
I was just joking, but you actually made me curious so I looked up his ID and went through the bother of calculating the rate formula. It looks like he lost 11R.

Also, apparently he hasn't played in tokujou until today.

>>14600376
You probably gave him a severe mental trauma from that, you evil bitch!

Hmm, the screen is from a yesterday game, back then I did not consider the possibilities properly, and had thrown off 9m for the 3–4m ryanmen, but was afraid that going for wating on 8 man would be better it obviously wasn’t. Now that I look at it, there’s really not much to discuss about. It is tough only when you’re actually playing this hand and must decide in a couple of seconds to not disclose tenpai inb4 with two open sets it’s already abunai for the others

>>14600564
Going for the closed 8m wait seems better according to the number of tiles left.

>>14600662
You might want to count that again.

>>14600663
Yep I missed that 8m on the top. Personally I'd go for the ryanmen wait though since I dislike kanchan waits.

>>14600672
But there's no ryanmen wait there?

>>14600687
You might want to check that again.

>>14600564
9 because it's too separated

>>14600701
Oh right. I'm slow to read a hand when it's not in real time.

>>14600737

Waiting on 5 and 8 man was hopeless. I think that I’ll be going for bad waits intentionally, when I get into such situations in the future.

>>14600749
9 because it would lower your score and its a pretty safe discard?

>>14600774

9 because
- 2 man is a pure trap;
- waiting on 2 and 5 man gives us three tiles, while there were only two 8 man left;
- makes the hand composed for tanyao.

Does anyone else get the feeling that grinding in L0 is easiest around when it's evening in the japan and most players are online? Seems like more casuals are playing in the evening, and when you play at other times the rate of good players is higher.

>>14600847
Yes. I feel like I lose more when I played after midnight Japan time but that could be because of the small sample size since I rarely play after midnight.

Statistics also showed that I lost more games on Tuesday/Saturday and won more games on Monday/Wednesday.

Take a break. When you let g of the flow, the only way to get it back is to calm down, and let it come back to you. Then you'll realize that it never left you, it was always there - you just stopped seeing it.

Do you want to dominate in L7447 but just can't? Rest easy, even if you're a beginner I have a simple method to help you achieve your dream.

Go to L0 and join the nashi games. Play there for about 100 games and come back to L7447. I guarantee you'll notice a great difference in your level once you've done this.

>>14604506
Nope. If a beginner play the ari red they're more likely to play like an idiot most of the times. They'll keep calling whenever they can. The first thing people should do is learn self-restraint so playing nashi is the best way to start.

>>14605234
It was certainly ready for anal raping.

>>14605212
Now that you mention it, maybe I should start playing the so-called defensive mahjong.

When is a good time to begin thinking defense in a hand? Obviously if a player goes riichi that's a huge flag, but what about open hands?

Up until now I've ignored defense on the first row of the discard pond, start taking mental notes on possible opponent hands, and go betaori on the 3rd row unless I'm close to tenpai or better.

How do you guys manage open hand defense?

>>14605495
Those are pretty good basic principles.

I also assume opponents are in tenpai when
1) someone has called two or more times and it's past the early stages
2) someone calls late in the round
3) someone cuts an honor tile or live/dangerous tile from their hand late in the round.

If I'm not iishanten by the end of the second row of discards, I fold if I draw a live tile.

A dora pon also counts as a riichi to me, start folding immediately unless you have an iishanten/tenpai hand with good value, and be quick to give up if it doesn't progress soon.

>>14605495
For open hands look for obvious yaku and the potential that the guy who opened it might have 2 dora ready to call or might already have 3dora closed.

You basically want to keep an eye on the point difference to see what kind of hands people will be aiming for, keep track of what the dora is (whether it's a honor tile that could be easily roped in on a toitoi or honitsu) and work from that. For a honitsu just don't deal tiles in that suit. For a toitoi go for tiles that you can see the most of, and that obviously aren't close to the edges (1,2,8,9) or live honor tiles.

And at all times you should consider your own hand's value to see whether it's worth it to push or to just fold. Generally for less than 3 han and with a high risk situation, unless I'm the dealer I'll just fold. On the contrary, if everyone's keeping it closed without riichis, and all the dora and plenty of honors are on the table, I might push just to hit tenpai on a draw situation.

>That feeling when you have TWO yakuhai pairs on both start hands of the first two rounds of the match and both times another player wins with a dora triplet, which then also happens on the 3rd turn.

I wasn't even mad anymore. It was just the soul-crushing sensation of complete powerlessness.

>>14605495
There are some indicators for when someone is in, or close to tenpai. Open melds for example, obviously. If someone has two or more, chances are good he's in tenpai. If someone has two open melds I will usually defend if I'm not at least in tenpai with a low value or in isshanten with a mid-value hand. Early middle discards, especially red 5s often indicate a fast hand as well, since Chanta is pretty rare. It's also important to estimate how valuable your opponents hand could be. If he likely just has a tanayao or yakuhai and you can rule out that he has dora you might as well attack if your hand is decent, if he has no or very few discards of a certain suit he likely goes for honitsu/chinitsu and you should defend earlier etc.

and games like this http://tenhou.net/0/?log=2016011201gm-0089-0000-84e809a7&tw=2 give me a cancer. I know that I shouldn't discard other title in S2, but I were so pissed after S1 and aimed for tenpai here.
It just so fucking unfair how easier others complete their hand in comparison to me.

You can't complain about yakitori when you're doing this, anon. Brush up on your tile efficiency.

>>14605714
Not him, but where can I read good tile efficiency guides?

>>14605749
This is a good introductory overview:
http://justanotherjapanesemahjongblog.blogspot.com/p/list-of-tile-efficiency-articles.html

Also look up the articles on osamuko.

>>14605714
He was iishanten for sanshoku with possibiliy of pinfu on turn 4. Discarding 3 sou over the dora is fine if not ideal, so I don't know what you're going on about. What does keeping the 3 sou do for you aside from eliminate your hand from going to a higher value with a dora pair and giving you a riskier overflow tile?

>>14605714
I had bad felling about that pei, but it seems that I was a little bit to paranoid. It was E2 and I tried to build big hand rather that quick one. If I only got that 2m one turn earlier I would end this round with mangan.

>>14605800
Breaking up 344s on turn 4 is way too early and aggressive, while the pei is arguably even more of a dangerous of an overflow tile in the late rounds and is harder to incorporate toward tenpai if playing defensively.

483B, 99x24px

I don't know what this means

>>14605840
3:0

>>14605835
Aggressive is awfully vague, while 3 sou is an unwanted tile and is extremely likely to be isolated even if you keep it. Discarding the dora would be a total blunder with that hand.

Even though the Pei is the dora and thus highly valued/wanted, it's a better defensive tile than 3 sou because it's harder to wait on.

>>14605904
I see it as he already has a 4s pair in his hand, so keeping the pei in hopes of pairing it slows him down too much while exposing him to more mangan deal-in risk. I would like holding the pei more if he were looking to complete the pair.

Also, you would never discard a live dora while being defensive in the late round, making it much worse than 3s for betaori, whereas if the pei were discarded by other players it would lose value as a potential pair. Maybe I value speed too much, but I think it's not worth the tradeoff in this case.

Since 2016 has seen my 4th place stats go from .16 to .4, I've decided to spend a couple of days as a noname going betaori the entire time and try to read discards.

Let's see if that helps

>>14610213
How many games did you have at .16 and at .40 losses? What's your hand win rate and deal-in rate?

That's probably focusing too much on that one aspect of your game.

Since he's not complaining about being 4th place, but about not getting first, I think lacking defense is not the problem. A person taking risks here and there would get first through luck at one point. It's probably playing too defensive, going for closed/more expensive hands even when they won't come together, etc.

I guess the real truth of this game is to always betaori whenever you're not iishanten after 6 discards.

>>14607774
When Ron, Tsumo are available, do not let player discard a tile with a single click, unless he specified it so in the options.

>>14611288
That sounds like a self control issue, but sure, can do.

Apparently there is an open source mahjong client available, but it looks pretty bad.
https://www.kde.org/applications/games/kajongg/
In my package manager, installing it requires installing 143 packages, and it only supports classical chinese mahjong, not even japanese mahjong or hong kong mahjong.
I'll make sure never to look at the source code of it, or ever use it.

>>14611505
It is, and it's not like it happens often, but it's generally horrible when it does happen.
Also, touchscreen support would be cool if it's easy to do.

>>14610165
No. High level players allowing that shit to happen. The 8-dan was guilty of feeding them honor tiles to the point of hadaka tanki.

>>14611619
I don't think touch support will be a big issue. If I can't do it, at least the graphical interface will just be one of many to the actual client.
Think about it like as with GNU Go and GNU Chess. They're actually text-mode programs, but many graphical interfaces to them exist.

Right now I'm still in the thinking and planning stage, I haven't written a line of code yet.
I'm thinking about efficient and consistent ways to display the whole table via text, both to humans and to a graphical interface.

Check again, I discarded two. If he was waiting on it, it'd have to be a tanki, but if that were the case then he would have kept the 7779p shape instead of the pei hell wait since it waits on 89p.

>>14613750
My guesses are 47s, 25p, or 36p. Breaking it down:

It's not 258s or 369s. 14s is possible but less likely because he discarded 3s from his hand before 4p and 4m, meaning he likely didn't have 334s, while 3s would be a useless tile for 356s.

For manzu, it's not any of the dora. It's not 47m or 58m from suji and it's not 69m because 8m is kabe. 36m is possible but less likely given three visible 4m.

For pinzu, it's not 147p. It's not 58p or 69p because 7p kan. The 4p discard could have been from a 344p or 445p.

>>14613800
*didn't have 233s. Also, there are three 3s visible.

>>14613793
>But they have.
And this is why I do so badly

>>14613750
Which one is the tile discarded directly after making the kan?

>>14613800
Spot on. His wait was 47s.

People often ask how they can read waits. While a lot of the time it's impossible, there are also many occasions where you can do it quite easily just through observation and process of elimination.

The rinshan draw was 5s, which he tsumogiri'd.

Is this the same thread where anons boasted about muh sacred terminology?

>>14613750
My guess is that it can be anything. 1級 isn’t high enough to not go for strange waits. And judging by the open part of his hand, he either has a set of doras, or a yakuhai + dora, which is too shitty to open a hand for.

>>14613863
You shouldn't assume that people will make mistakes unless you see them making mistakes. Incidentally he was R1800+, which is pretty impressive for 1k.

Also note that it's tonpuusen. A 2600 point hand is good enough for tonpuusen, especially since you don't want to go into oorasu in last place, because then you're required to win a hand to escape.

> unless you see them making mistakes.
This hand actually does looks like one.
> Incidentally he was R1800+, which is pretty impressive for 1k.
I’d like to see his rating on his first thousand of games.
> Also note that it's tonpuusen.
Ah, okay then.

>>14614052
Not him, but I think it wasn't a mistake.

The guy's last by 1000 in E3 of a tonpuusen match, so his priority should be to win anything at all as quickly as possible.

Is there any particular reason why the male voice says 'reach' whereas the female voice says 'riichi'?

Will I become the best player on Tenhou if I adapt Akagi's strategy?

>>14614223
No. You'll probably be the worst.

>>14614223
Yes. Always call everything you can and wait for haitei/houtei. Trust me, it works.

Happened to me in my last game. I had a comfortable lead in South 4 when someone riichi'd a shit hand and got 4 uradora to upset me.

The last "i" of a word that ends with ち is frequently omitted in Japanese, emphasizing the "i" is a feminine thing (but not always).
