All last. Ryanmen on 6s-9s on turn 4 with 4 tiles left for both.

Dama is either 3han 30 fu (dora/dora/pinfu) with a ron so 3900 points or 4 han 20 fu with a Tsumo so 5200 points. Both keep me in 3rd place.

Riichi is at least 4 han 30 fu with Ron so 7700 points or 5 han 20 fu with Tsumo so mangan and both make me reach second place.

I went for Riichi and grabbed my second place but it seems it was not the optimal choice here.

This is the last talisman I have to discover.
Any hints that could take me in the right direction?

It's always sad to be so close yet so far from a yakuman, but the mahjong gods do truly love to give you "chances" that were never going to come to fruition anyway.

1m passed against toimen, but 8m is safe against dealer. what to do

Sometimes the Mahjong blesses your game into this kind of shenanigans

I'm just wondering how commonly used these are in high level play

I have a strong desire to get better. There seem to be so many levels to this game and I am struggling to understand many of the intermediate concepts and memorize all the terms.

I feel like a good book and some communities where I can ask questions to players better than myself (read as anyone really) would go a long way.

I was wondering where I could get the tile assets where the face or the back of the tile had a penguin on it. And I’m pretty sure it had it. but I might be wrong. Any help would be nice.

Absolutely diabolical luck lol

Obtained a rare yaku today, didn't even expect to win this hand. Btw kamicha didn't learn their lesson at all and proceeded to call unthinkable kans for the next few rounds

I've started obsessive learning riichi mahjong 4 days ago. Watching YuSong videos.

Today on my 5th ranked match ever, I got a Baiman!

It looked like to me breaking up the 1 and 3-pin sequence is better because a 3 pin was already discarded.

this hand is too good to fold and i m dealer. 3p or 4s? or something else?

wwyd

Why cant i win in these scenarios?

I have the required conditions, 4 triplets/straights + 1 pair.

What am i missing?

Could have safely go for a shanpon on red dragon/ 5m by discarding East but decided to push in last second because of my + 13 000 points accepting to give back Toimen his points.

Not really clever because of extra Ura Dora risk but a so much satisfying ending.

3x 6s and 2x 7s are visible, would 8s be best here?

hand kinda slow. should i lock in 123 sanshoku?

seems pretty risky to push 1p here because kami can be in tenpai waiting with 23p honitsu or any tile for toitoi. was just hoping to survive this round because my shapes are bad
