Alright I've gone from 700 points to 240 in the past 3 days, Havne't won a single game and played over 30 full east+souths. Should I just quit for a week or so, or what. I have no idea what I'm doing anymore, sometimes I'll deal into obvious shit, or sometimes i'll just be in iishanten hell for 12 fucking turns or riichi with a fucking garbage wait and deal into something that way. Either way I can't concentrate anymore, anyone know a cure for a slump?

You have 3 turns left.

You are in tenpai (2han).
You can't afford to play into his hand.
He plays into your hand.
You don't take it because 3han is oh so better than 2han

You're doing it wrong. Just ron and take his riichi stick.

Why do they still count dragons as yakuhai when you have shousangen? It's somehow inconsistent

[Anonymous No.]

>>4849242
Because if shousangen is worth two han, not counting the yakuhai would make as if it wasn't a yaku. It's either worth 4 han, or 2 han + 2han from the two dragons, you choose, the result is the same.

Tried to get on my alt account to play to see if it was just my name having bad luck, the first hanchan I play I riichi with a great 5 way wait on the 5th turn thinking I am golden, and instead I deal into a hidden dealer baiman taking me to exactly zero points. The funny part is, I also rewatched the Saki episode were kana is taken down to 0 points just A FEW HOURS before. This is great, I am doing so horrible that my spiral of negative skill is collapsing into itself making it fun to watch, like a skyscraper on fire you can't help but watch the people jump out and kill themselves. I just can't stop playing to see what amazing cock slap tenhou is going to hand me next.

It happens, it sounds stupid, but you just need to win once. If you can get just one win you'll remember wtf you were doing. I went on a 24 game losing streak myself, this was the game I came back on. Even with my streak my record is still 0.298 as 1st, so I'm reasonably confident it's not just me. Shit sucks though, I stopped playing out of frustration for like two weeks.

You can riichi when you are in tenpai, there are no other restrictions. When you draw that 4, you can discard it and still be in tenpai. You are furiten after doing that, though, you can only win with tsumo. This is an example of person deciding to riichi instead of tsumo, thus being furiten.

looks more likely that shion is winning and satoko is losing and rena and rika apparently changed their haircut
and about keiichi, he's aside like always
XD

[Anonymous No.]

>>4886430
Okay, every hand must have at least one "yaku" in order to win - simply making four melds and a pair isn't enough. Here's a list of yaku: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_Mahjong_yaku

However, here's a little list of what you should focus on - just try and work on a couple, and once you get comfortable with them add more.

Yaku-hai - a triplet of one of the dragons, the round wind, or your wind.
Tan yao - No 1s, 9s, winds, or dragons.
Riichi - Don't call on any tiles (pon, chi or kan), and declare riichi meaning you only need one more tile. Try those three for now.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4886608
Also, even those are the most "common" yaku, you can use some common sense too.
All three of a kinds is probably worth something, right? right. 2 han.
Everything the same suit
A straight (123456789)
And identical sequences(456 456 (samesuit)) iipeikou.

There are only a few obscure yaku like chiitoitsu(seven pairs), some that involve the terminals(1s and 9s), Understanding how Pinfu works and the yakumans. The rest can be easily understood just but looking at the tiles and seeing "wow that looks similar" or something.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4886696
>A straight (123456789)
To clarify:
A straight is 123 456 789 (three melds).
12345667899 = 123 456 678 99 is not a straight.

[Anonymous No.]

I was playing with a friend who is pretty new, only knows basic yaku. And he pulled a monster single suit hand but took like 5 minutes on his turn before he discarded and afterwards ron'd illegally. It takes a lot of effort to be able to discern "how" your hand is when everything is similar like that, I suggest using
http://www.gamedesign.jp/flash/bamboo/bamboo.html
to learn about single suits. (You have to know the japanese for tsumo, ron, riichi, etc but if you are playing on tenhou you should know them.)

[IN elite !EienteiYsU No.]

Christ that game was long.

[Anonymous No.]

fuck fucking fuck

I know it's the nature of a gambling game that you won't always win, but was in tenpai like 40% of the time from the first few discards and nobody would discard my tiles. I didn't even riichi because I thought I was being clever, but everyone still discarded a bunch of useless shit. God damn it.

I know a lot of the yakus, but most of the time people win faster than me. I just came back from playing on L0000 and won only 2 of 16 rounds, and I was in tenpai in almost every single one. Motherfuckers never deal into my hand.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4886869
that's the only thing I can think of that I'm doing wrong. I tend to go for open waits since those are better, yeah?

Or is there some discard-reading technique I should be doing to figure out what to wait on. I only started playing a few months ago.

[IN elite !EienteiYsU No.]

>>4886905

Open wait is always best for tsumo, sometimes little trick like the ones you're describing work but more often than not it is a good idea not to be cute.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4886870
Shit happens. I am a fairly good 2dan I would say. Currently down about 300 points on tenhou. I am very sad, but it is a game of luck, sometimes you can just get fucked over hard.

Tsumos can really be a killer. There should be an option for a room without tsumos, and and option for a room without red fives OR dora tiles. It would make for some interesting game play.

Exactly. That's why it would make for interesting game play. It would test the defensive skills of a player.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4886955

You have an all-dot hand. Instead of declaring richi and wait solely on a 4 dot, you hold out. Right next, some fag declares a closed kan of 4 dots, so you're screwed. Then, the next guy declares richi. You look at his discards, and the only dots he has discarded are a 2 dot and a 7 dot.

What do you discard?

[Anonymous No.]

>>4886982

These types of problems are useless without scores and seating positions. If you have a good score, then defensive play by throwing the 2, 3, or 7 pin.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4886982

If he has a 7 dot, chances are that he doesn't have a 7-8-9, so 8 would be my first choice. I would also say 1 dot, but fags like to wait on end tiles a lot of the time to be trick, so I wouldn't put out the 1 dot or 9 dot until somebody else did.

I would be pissed off that I haven't drawn a 3 or 5 yet for my Yakuman. If I was way behind, I might just say screw it and still wait, but if I was ahead, I would discard my three 8s. I would HOPE that I could draw some defensive tiles, though.

Why did Tenhou count this in this manner instead of a suu-ankou? Is it because the han exceeded 13, so Tenhou counts it as higher scoring than a yakuman?

That is how you play, not dealing into hands and trying to tsumo, or using tricky waits, or fast riichi's when applicable. You don't lose unless you come in last, and if you never deal into people, you have a good chance of not being last.
You must never play defense and deal everything you don't need. Maybe you should learn to play instead.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4899657
Seriously, "reading discards" isn't what you probably think it is. You will never know for sure what tile your opponent/partner is waiting for. Playing defensively is probably what you mean. It's not that hard, really, just discard tiles your opponent has already discarded. If none are available, see if there are some impossible waits (usually, these appear when four tiles of a kind are visible, that's called a Kabe), if there aren't, then go for improbable waits, ie discard suji. Of course, there are some easily readable ponds, the easiest ones being honitsu/chinitsu/kokushi, but most of the time your opponent will have a ryanmen wait and you won't have any way to know exactly which ryanmen it is.

[Anonymous No.]

>>4899680

I explained you how to recognize safe tiles. Now, in order to deal into your partner's hand, just discard the tiles in your hand which are NOT safe. Priorizing those which are safe against your opponent and not with your partner.
