WWYD 1 - Riichi Mahjong Strategy

Just a quick look at a "What would you discard?" problem. Be careful, the answer might not be what you would normally think!

...And yes, I'm aware that to qualify as a short it needs to be vertical form. I didn't want to recreate this one, but still wanted to pass it on to all y'all.

Just to add to this, this is called a ryanmen kanchan! Good example Crow.

At first, I thought I had the right answer; you tricked me! Anyways, nice video. I'm loving these frequent uploads!

OH right, because then you can just chuck the 2s when you reach tenpai... I got so fixated on avoiding that closed wait that I didn't see where that route would actually lead, thank you!

Question: Do you play in Mahjong Soul and if yes, what is your current rank? If you are willing to say it of course :)

Not sure I understood this as it didn't show the full hand in the end. 19 waits? As in I will win with one of those waits? I assume it more about what I am waiting for and decided what to discard after getting one of the 19 waits to keep developing the hand? Because it didn't look like you'd win with some of those waits. Again didn't show the full hand in the end there so I might have lost track of how many sets and pairs was had

I think rather than pinfu, the decision should be made based on whether you rather discard a 6s or a 3m, in the case of drawing a 2m/3s.
