That's not the rule. At least I don't think it is. Paarenchan requires 8 consecutive WINS, which means one abortive draw will fuck it up. Pretty tough actually especially if the dealer's hands are tied. I think some mahjong video games let you do paarenchan with just 8 honba, but I think it's standard (for a nonstandard rule go figure) that you gotta win eight times, and furthermore: 8 times as dealer.
The closest I ever got was 7. Those bastards were onto me.

If I had to guess their reasons, probably because two 7m and one 8m are out, which makes the 6-7m sequence less likely to have. Of course, if they have 3-4-5-6-7m, you're screwed that way too.

Maybe, it's not that I play completly illogical and occult, but a lot of my plays can be considered as bad, when actually works better for me than textboks examples.

It goes without saying. First one to win the hand, wins. So likewise, you have to be extremely tile efficient. But also, you have to consider seat win tie-breakers and the effect of tsumos.

Of course, it can also come down to your seat position. The dealer has no choice but to go almost all out. If anyone else tsumos, then the dealer loses. If the dealer tsumos, South has an advantage of a tie over West and North.

With a game like this, what happens if ryuukyoku?

What will you discard here?
4th draw, discarded useless winds.

Not a fancy round or anything, but this sort of draw troubles me a lot.

>> No.14943588

>>14943572
Depends on the dora and other discards. If a lot of tiles connecting to 4p are out, then probably that. Otherwise, either 1s or 7s, probably 7s because it'll be more dangerous later and it's more efficient.

>> No.14943594

>>14943572
4p. The fact that you're asking indicates that you'd rather keep 4p to build a ryanmen, but breaking up one of your other taatsu would be way too slow and not worth it.

If, on your next turn, you drew 6m, then the next discard would be 7s.

7s.

You have 123m, 57m, 677s and are looking to complete one more among 4p, 88p, and 122s.

67s is already an efficient shape. You can give up only two tiles (7s) in exchange for allowing any lower or middle pinzu to improve your hand with the 4p. Discarding 4p here is a bit too early because then you must rely on 122s or 88p to improve, which are both suboptimal.

Discarding 4p is right.

Firstly, you sacrifice efficiency just for the possibility that you'll draw tiles near 4p.
Secondly, even if you do, you're more likely to draw either a kanchan or shanpon than ryanmen, neither of which improve your shape.
Thirdly, even if you did draw ryanmen, the most efficient way forward from there is to break up the 57m kanchan, which loses you the dora (unless you draw the red 5p)
Finally, even if you did draw the red 5p, you're still sanshanten. Congratulations, you just wasted turns for no hand improvement. In the time it took, you might as well have reached iishanten already. It's not like your hand shape was all that bad to begin with.

I believe Daina Chiba's rule of thumb in his book would also support cutting the 7s in this hand (if you have three pairs, you should cut one of them).

Think in terms of your likely finished hand composition and backfires. There is almost no chance you will dismantle the double dora or finished 123m shape, and you will almost certainly to complete the ryanmen at 67s rather than a 777s shape.

In contrast, you are 4x as likely to draw 3/5p than 7s, and even a 6p would give you a decent 468p. In practical terms, this means that you increase the possibility of backfiring on a good pinzu draw by 12 tiles in exchange for a temporary improvement of 2 tiles, which you're going to cut immediately if any other taatsu improves anyway.

The reason that keeping three pairs is generally bad for tile efficiency is that unlike with cutting two pairs to one, cutting the third 7s pair still allows a 8p or 2s to advance the hand. This means you are keeping only 2 more tiles of immediate efficiency but opening yourself up to 4-6x possibility of backfiring on a shape upgrade.

>> No.14944284

>>14944201
To sum up, consider every alternate universe of possible draws.

The vast majority of these universes will be the same for a 4p discard vs a 7s discard. You will either get a useless tile, or the draw will improve another unrelated part of your hand, such as a 6m draw. In the latter case, you will discard the remaining 4p or 7s, just in a different order but with the exact same resulting hand.

The universes only diverge when you draw a 23456p or 7s. An 8s would technically create a nice 6778s shape, but this is irrelevant because keeping the 7s afterward really would be too slow and you'd cut it anyway. This means that in two of your alternate futures, you benefited from keeping 7s (by drawing another 7s), but in 19 other alternate futures, you benefited from keeping 4p (ranging from major benefit upon 3/5p draw to extremely minor upon drawing 2/4p).

>> No.14944338

>>14944284
Ugh, I should really remember to think of everything before posting, but a last note.

It would actually be correct to keep 7s over 4p if you could call for tanyao, for instance if you had 23457m instead of the 1m. However, this hand will likely not get tanyao because a 4m would get incorporated into a 45m ryanmen instead of letting the 1m slide out. You are hoping for pinfu here if anything, so a 777s is also slightly less valuable yaku-wise when kuitan/tanyao is not in the cards.

Hope this helps.

Accept that you're going to lose and focus on what you can learn from your losses instead. More importantly you shouldn't let the results of your previous matches influence you in your future matches, because how you did one game has nothing to do with how you'll do in the other. It will just make you tepid in games following victories or overly aggressive in games following bad losses.

I got very quick hand and have winning set in fifth turn, but it was just pinfu+tsumo. The point is, that exchange 9p for 6p would give me sanshoku+tanyao. Of course I called riichi, because there were none other possibilities for gyakuten.

It's a fine decision. Getting any sort of gyakuten when one player is at so few points is much, much more difficult than normal because your ability to tsumo is strangled. With that gone, getting direct hits on players in the lead is very tough because they will usually play defensively.

And while trying to do that, if fourth place gets one good hand, now you're the one in fourth. If you're trying to climb then it's better to secure 3rd than risk falling into 4th in situations like this.
