MAHJONG THREAD

I just had someone riichi on the 2nd row of discards then ippatsu tsumo a kokushi.

>>14617847
Anyone have mahjong shows beside the obvious ones?

>>14618076
Which ones are you following?

I've dealt into suji trap a few times, yet my trap never werk.

>>14618404
I hate when I riichi on a one sided wait in hopes of setting up a suji trap, but then I draw the tile next to the one I put down when I called riichi.

>>14618308
i watched both akagis and all sakis

>>14618487
In anime format there's Legendary Gambler Tetsuya and a couple episodes of Mudazumo Naki Kaikaku.
In manga format there's Naki no Ryuu, Mukoubuchi, Tetsunaki no Kirinji and Tohai (all fresh off the presses), as well as some chapters of Tetsuya.
I assume Shinohayu is included in "all the Sakis" you watched.

From spectator view, I was calling him retarded when he refused to get into tenpai with his 3 dora hand, but because of his "bad" decisions, he got a baiman, so I guess I didn't know what I was talking about.

nice desu ne

>>14619475
I had a "Nobody knows what Akagi is doing" moment there and couldn't tell if you were retarded for not taking the 3 sided wait, or a genius when it ipattsu'd.

What's the point of dragon tiles?
Calling them just make your hand a shitty yakuhai, even a tanyao pinfu is a better deal.

>>14619501
The point is finishing your hand before anyone else does. Doesn't matter if you have an octuple yakuman if the guy across from you finishes his shitty 1000 yakuhai hand first.

>>14619507
It doesn't matter if you finish 3 times with a 1000 hand if some guy gets a mangan while you're dealer. You're just wasting your hand, unless you have some dora or the yakuhai is a 2x one.

>>14619501
>>14619513
They can be used to speed up the game.
Once you get a Baiman as dealer you can just spam yakuhai hands and you'll win the match.

3:0

>>14619513
this is objectively the wrong approach. dicking around trying to get some huge value hand always fails unless either:

a) you were dealt almost all of the hand to begin with, in which case go ahead and try to complete it

b) you're an anime character with plot armor

if you start with a hand that isn't already almost a good hand, then just finish fast as possible

>>14619513
>>14619501

There is a reason why 90% of hands completed in professional matches are yakuhai, tan'yao and pinfu.

More complex hands almost never manage to be completed, and going for them will just limit your speed and your ability to discard safely.

>>14619806

Mmm, I agree.

"As we saw in the previous chapter, we often face a tradeoff between speed (tile efficiency) and hand value. In modern Riichi Mahjong, the value of pursuing expensive yaku is much diminished because of red fives. For example,
ryanpeiko is a beautiful three-fan yaku, but it is extremely difficult to make this yaku. We can achieve the same hand value more easily with
riichi + dora + one red five. We thus tend to
think of expensive yaku as something that emerges in a hand (almost) by chance, not something we actively pursue. Given that we can get high scores also from ippatsu, ura dora, and tsumo, getting the hand ready for
riichi is generally more important than pursuing expensive yaku."

From that richii book one of the anons linked in an earlier topic.

Missing half of the first hand netted me houtei Raoyui mangan which I sat on for 8 hands. This game just doesn't make sense sometimes. I swear I turned the sfx back on to warn me when the game started though. Weird.

>>14619210
I've tried mahjong with paper cards. It was annoying as fuck.

Can someone post a replay of the match just played in 7447? I wanna see the whole match of that one guy getting fucked over.

Why are you passing on wins to extend a shitty fake 3p game?

>>14619210
I already have one, but mine is Chinese rather than Japanese. I've only been able to find three other players two times.

>>14619210
Dunno. I could print out my own cards.

>>14619210
No. Cards are easy to ruin and mark.

Are you talking about this one, anon?

I knew I'd be second when I busted him out, but I also had class in 20 minutes so I just accepted my position to end the game in a quick fashion.

Also just got out of class so I'm sorry for the late response.

>>14620365
I own cards and they're not bad.
They're really convenient and useful, and I can carry them with me easily. In my backpack, if I wanted.

>>14619210
I couldn't even get together people to play mahjong with a months notice, the odds of me needing on-the-go cards is basically nonexistent.

>>14620416
You can teach chinese style mahjong in about five minutes, so I keep the cards around me, because some people like learning new games.
Japanese/riichi mahjong is probably the sort of mahjong that takes the longest just to learn how to play. And that does not make it more strategic... fucking red fives.

>rinshan kaihou as my only yaku
Well that was lucky

>>14621040
Chinese mahjong is still much less luck-based.

>>14621425
Chinese (cantonese) mahong is also has potentially more defensive abilities since there's no penalty for noten.

>>14621442
I've never understood these 'chinese mahjong takes more skill' arguments.

Don't you always pay if someone wins a hand? I'm not a chinese mahjong player, but the way I see, there would be far fewer reasons to defend in that case. You'd be better off just rushing to win the hand. There's also no furiten, so you couldn't even really defend if you wanted to.

>>14621503
>can't defend without furiten
>implying you still can't read hands
You always pay, but you pay half the amount that the person who actually discarded into the ron does.

>>14621503
As >>14621513 noted, you tend to pay less. The biggest thing about cantonese mahjong being potentially more defensive is that there aren't a lot of rules for getting yaku. Thus hands are either incredibly easy to read, or very low valued. No riichi, dora, no ura dora, and no open tanyao means that there's no such thing as "quick" hands, and that getting value is more difficult whilst also keeping your hand hidden.

>>14621517
That just sounds boring

>>14621513
Read some hands for me then. You might be able to pick out yaku, but judging what tiles are safe or dangerous without furiten is difficult and very inconsistent. Maybe this is fine for very skilled players (I doubt it), but furiten is the majority of beginner and intermediate defense.

>You always pay, but you pay half the amount that the person who actually discarded into the ron does.
That still means you have less of an incentive to defend and more to just ignore the other players and finish your hand before they do.

>>14621518
Not really.
Old Hong Kong (and the various PRC/official tournament versions) is more modular than Japanese mahjong.
Instead of finding one yaku to make a hand, you usually have to combine multiple lesser-valued combinations. With this modularity, there are more combinations available.

Of course, the highest-valued hands still resemble your yakuman.

>>14621523

Serves you right, you faggot.

Is calling a closed kan on 4 dora a good way to push everyone towards betaori or is it more likely to get them to try to speed up their hands to prevent you from finishing yours?

>>14623666
Probably a good way to get most people not in tenpai or iishanten to drop out

jesus christ

do hans stack over yakuman hand up to a double yakuman? or does the scoring stop with your yaku in this cases?

I mean, suppose the following case: you get a daisangen and you riichi then tsumo, similar to the case of this guy
Does it score higher than just doing ron on a daisangen without riichi?

>>14625591
No. Yakuman is yakuman.

>>14625597

what do you like about mahjong that makes you play it?

For me, I consider it to be the perfect mixture of luck and strategy/knowledge, in which improvement and constant playing pays off but with an added thrill that makes it addicting

Is there a character who could possibly even get a direct hit on Akagi Shigeru in mahjong? Let alone defeat him. I'm not just talking about 13 year old Akagi, I'm not talking about Akagi in 1 shanten with a iipeikou and ittsu, hell I'm not even talking about Akagi in tenpai for a open riichi tanyao pinfu ryanpeikou ittsu chinitsu 10 dora kazoe yakuman (with possible 5 ura-dora and menzen tsumo), equipped with his sheer intuition, perfect tile efficiency, with control of the dealer seat for 7 honba, with the luck of the devil implanted in him so he can win on jigokumachi and can perform ronagari at any time while being an expert in damaten and atamahane.

>>14625324
I'd discard it because some men just want to watch the tiles burn

offensively they can used in almost any hand shape, they bump hands up in rank that they shouldn't be for no reason other than you happened to draw one and they make reaching mangan/haneman piss easy. they also make kuitan more impactful because your 1000 point hand will infrequently become 7700/mangan for the sole reason that you got lucky and drew 3 red dora.

defensively it creates a hole in risk assessment where the correct move is to betaori against 90% of riichis, because even if can see all 4 of the normal dora, if you can see 0 red dora it's still too dangerous to play aggressive because that shitty riichi pinfu could easily be riichi pinfu dora dora. a 2000/3900 point ron gets turned into a 7700 hand because luck

i'm not saying i don't see the appeal of them because big hands are fun to see and that's what all the mahjong parlors use but the more luck factors you introduce the less skill plays a part in winning

If you play with good players both are still pretty rare.

>they also make kuitan more impactful because your 1000 point hand will infrequently become 7700/mangan for the sole reason that you got lucky and drew 3 red dora.
Nothing wrong with that imo. Open hands are already worse than closed hands most of the time even with red 5s and speed factored in.

>defensively it creates a hole in risk assessment where the correct move is to betaori against 90% of riichis, because even if can see all 4 of the normal dora, if you can see 0 red dora it's still too dangerous to play aggressive because that shitty riichi pinfu could easily be riichi pinfu dora dora. a 2000/3900 point ron gets turned into a 7700 hand because luck
And without red 5s it could be a riichi pinfu tanyao with 2 ura-dora. I get your point that it makes playing offensively against riichi more worthwile, but your argumentation is arbitrary. With the same argument you could also advocate banning ura-dora.
Making the value of hands more difficult to estimate does by itself not reduce the skill factor, it just shifts the necessary skills towards calculating with chances.

>>14639272

>If you play with good players both are still pretty rare.

only because good players in tokujou and above go for 3900/7700 kuitan -because- they get red fives, and even there it isn't what i would call uncommon

>With the same argument you could also advocate banning ura-dora.

you can't compare ura-dora and red fives. ura-dora is a luck factor, yes, but it's also an integral part of what makes riichi valuable. ura-dora doesn't make kuitan more impactful because it doesn't apply to it. you have to put yourself into a risky situation to gain its benefits and even then you may not get any ura-dora at all.

>Making the value of hands more difficult to estimate does by itself not reduce the skill factor, it just shifts the necessary skills towards calculating with chances.

if it removes or significantly diminishes a skill that can be applied in most situations then yes, it definitely reduces the skill factor. being able to estimate your opponent's hand value is very valuable, try playing ari nashi or nashi nashi sometime and maybe you'll notice how big of a difference it makes.

The reason Japanese mahjong is superior to gaijin mahjong in the first place is because of the emphasis on closed hands. Kuitan and red 5 apologists should go back to hong kong 'jong.

>you can't compare ura-dora and red fives. ura-dora is a luck factor, yes, but it's also an integral part of what makes riichi valuable.
If you think ura-dora is necessary to make riichi valuable, why not just give riichi another advantage instead of ura-dora, that is less luck-based, like removing the 1k riichi desposit rule, or make anyone pay an additional 1k in case of tsumo, or one player 3k in case of ron. There is no reason that the advantage that riichi gets needs to be as luck based as ura-dora, so if you argue against red 5s you should also argue against ura-dora.

>if it removes or significantly diminishes a skill that can be applied in most situations then yes...
>being able to estimate your opponent's hand value is very valuable
You can't estimate the value of a riichi hand. It could be anything from riichi + nothing up to sanshoku pinfu with 2 ura-dora or some shit with or without red 5s. The only thing it really changes is the average value of a hand. Sure the variance will go up slightly as well because of that, but that hardly matters, because it is already too high from the beginning. Sure you can make SOME assumptions based on discards but that is very unreliable anyway.
Why do you think most players in tokujo (and probably also Houou) play ari red if takes less skill?

This is a very interesting WWYD.

>>14644707
By the way, my answer is 4p because it is suji against toimen, half-suji against shimocha, and there are two of them to discard.

>>14644707
1p and 7p are both safe against toimen and and 1p was discarded by shimocha. All the other tiles are pretty risky. 4p is really risky in itself, but it'd probably be the safest tile.

Really hard decision, his entire hand was a ultra dangerous.

>>14644707
...1m?

In fact I would have discarded that 1m even sooner.

>>14644718
Get your finger off that p key, guy.

>>14644721
Think about it this way.

You can see three of the 4m but only two 1m, one 2m and one 3m.

The chances of someone using the 2 and 3m are very high, and the chances of them having a 4m or 1m as well are rather low, so it means that a 14m wait is pretty likely. Of course, I can say this only because I already know the answer.

>>14644730
So the answer was that 1m WAS the wait? Damn, this is why I never do well.

But looking at what tiles this guy has now and his discards, he shouldn't have had that many terminals to begin with. Why didn't he just try for a tanyao in the first place?

>>14644738
He drew the 1m while betaori to the first riichi.

Discarding 1m here would actually ippatsu to the second riichi.

>>14644748
2nd riichi?

Fucking hell, those are some crazy discards if he could win off 1m. I was sure that would be a tanyao hand.

4s

Three 5s are discarded. So, you have good degree of kabe here. Then the 1s half-suji to both players adds a bit of help. If 4s passes, then you have paved some way for the 7s later on.

Pinzu are currently out of the question.

Good point. The question is would you take half-suji + 1-chance kabe for both players, or suji for one player + half-suji for the other.

The 7s has a slightly elevated chance of 68s trap due to dora, but not too bad.

>>14644772
Answer A. Half-suji + 1-chance kabe for both players.

At least, you're taking them on both early on. The second answer can be taken care of later, while dishing that question off to the other players. Let them take the risk confirming those more dangerous tiles.

As for the current hand. You have the lead. Don't fuck up. Suji alone is a nice defense strategy. However, time and time again, suji alone is often not good enough. Tenpai is no longer necessary anyways.

Looking at the replay, this player did fuck up.

>>14644870
> look guys, it was hard, but I am 9 dan now

>>14645130
I would still take 4p over 4s. The idea is that suji for one player (especially a 1-7 suji) is a much better chance that you are safe from one of the riichis, and you only have to worry about dealing into the other one.

On the other hand, a one-chance kabe is much less secure in the later phases of a round and against two players.

Both choices are very close and valid I think, but the tiebreakers for me are that 1) you have two 5p in your hand, slightly enhancing the safety of 4p and 2) having an additional 4p to discard is better than a 7s suji followup discard near the dora.

4s. 1s is safe against both, and 47s is one chance. Next would be 7s - all four 9s are dead so it's not penchan, there are three visible so it's not shanpon, and if it were kanchan then toimen wouldn't have tsumogiri'd 5s and shimocha wouldn't chase riichi with it.
