WWYD 3: Road to the Top.

If you notice in my discards there is a 4m. I refused tenpai already then fishing for 4 han of improvement (junchan +3, ryanpeikou +1). After redrawing 4m I called riichi, then tsumod a bit later. I drew 2m the turn right after I riichi'd

Novice

In real life, I will throw 3 and not riichi. Because if someone wins I will lose 1000 points

In game, I will riichi, because the button is there.

>Adept

riichi nya, because free sex

Adept

Danger! I will fold with 9s since I'm first. There's no need to take risks since I'm first with a huge lead, and 9s gives me three turns to live. Toimen is aiming for tanyao? So a terminal is the safest tile to drop her.

Expert

I would cut the 9s here personally. Not because I want to greed for value but because kamicha's hand can easily be a sanshoku waiting on the 3m to be discarded especially with a sudden 4m drop after 3 turns of tsumogiri. There is little chance for toimen to wait on 4m but it's possible he goes for souzu honitsu/chinitsu, so dropping 9s while it's genbutsu thanks to kamicha looks like the best course of action. We are still iishanten for either chiitoi or ryanpeikou, and we can also attempt to fold if things go south suddenly.

Expert

3m riichi, even without junchan and ryanpeikou this hand is an almost guaranteed mangan, with good chances of becoming haneman.

Master

i'd probably drop 3m dama as you're already 1st, then fold if it gets sketchy. dama is boring though

toimen likely has something very cheap as we see all the dora, so i wouldnt be too afraid of pushing dama here and he's opened

what are the odds he has aka :^)

it's so sad to see a potential junchan ryanpeikou die

Master

I would just drop 3m and dama here

actually, it depends on how drunk I am

if I'm sober I'd 3m dama if I'm drunk I'd 4m yolo

Master

in case of doubt always riichi

Saint

It's s4 and he's 1st, take tenpai and dama. never riichi this hand. If you riichi then toimen can overtake you with a 3/40 direct hit off anyone, if you don't win it the point difference is 5300. So you don't riichi

it also means a 2 han 40 direct hit lets him overtake you as well whereas if you dama you can still tank it

yea not taking tenpai on turn 6 is retarded

Saint

Just 3m dama. You can already win with yaku, positions are clearly separated in S4 and 1st is yours to lose. Assuming these players are not completely retarded, toimen and kamicha will not fold against your riichi (increasing chances you will lose placement), but you can't guarantee shimocha will sashikomi either. In addition, while Sakurai would approve. you don't need to greed for value in S4 and also his cheating doesn't work in a sov

WWYD 2: A Dangerous Situation.

Dealer has called himself into a guaranteed mangan+ hand and now you draw the double discarded 9S with all the 8s gone. WWYD?

Novice

9s. I believe that I will win.

Adept

The situation in the board looks dangerous. Everyone's calling bamboo tiles, so I will fold with 8 pin suji. Both the person in front of me and my right looks like they're gathering bamboo tiles, so I believe 8 pin is safe. And 8 pin is also very safe from the left player.

Expert

9s might look dangerous, but you have to look at toimen's hand. That pon of 8s signifies that 9s is kabe, so it is safe against her. AND if you check shimocha, she had a pon of the 7s, so that's another kabe for 9s, since the other 7s is on the dora indicator. Despite 9s looking very dangerous, it is actually the safest tile to push here.

Master

Yagi Yui. 5m.

Saint

It's east one, just push it retard.

WWYD 1: A Double Riichi.

Anon got a this haipai and had to ask wwyd.

Novice

Riichi because more points

so dealer will not be dealer

Adept

I would riichi, because I've never had a double riichi...

Real answer, I would still riichi. It's only E2, Oya is getting carried away a bit but still can be overtaken, and the rest of us are even.
If I'm right, I think it's confirmed Mangan as it stands? DoubleRiichi, Dora2, tanki wait should round up the fu to 40, I think? Even if not fake mangan is fine. Ura will come because paypig kyara.
I can't see a reason to throw such a high value hand away this early in the game, on what I would say is a good wait? Tanki terminal

What improvements really exist here? I don't see a single improvement that could be made by a single tile, meaning I'd need to draw 2 improvement tiles. Since it's Mahjong, I might not even draw 1.

I would riichi the 1m, waiting on the 1p, since Oya discarded a strong pinzu tile early.

If she goes honitsuu it could be in manzu which makes the 1m slightly harder to come out, and more likely to make others discard pinzu if she is in tenpai. Get Oya off the dealer with a confirmed strong hand.

Adept

For a double riichi? Hell yeah, while it sucks to miss out on the improvement to pure double you'll lose out on the double, the cheeky wait on the 1dot this early feels worth it. Love early riichi's to discourage people. Also I meant missing out on the double riichi

Expert

In my expert opinion I would riichi bcuz its early and you can shut down the others' hands. The wait is a terminal so its likely to come out. The most bestest upgrade if you wait would be ippeiko and its only an extra han while giving the enemies a chance to build up their hands.

Expert

I would definitely discard 1p and riichi this because: 1. The wait is a decent tanki, double riichi can suffer from forcing you into a bad wait, but in this case assuming the others don't beatori it's likely to come out. 2. the value is good as it is, double riichi + 2 red fives, it's at least a mangan, and with those overlapping ryanmen you could get ura 2 for haneman or tsumo and ura one. I don't think chasing for a ippeikou is worth it 3. it's rather awkward to improve as you lack a head.

Why discard 1p and not 1m? Because there are potentially 3 more 4m to be used a suji trap, vs only 2 4p.

With all these points taken into account, I'd rather seize the opportunity given to me rather than wait for potential upgrades that aren't garanteed and let others build their hands free from the pressure of a double riichi.

Master

I would definitely riichi that without much thought. that's at least mangan and terminal tanki is a good wait considering that it's double riichi, meaning that's it's really early and likely to come out

people aren't gonna fold a double riichi at least in the beginning so them dropping terminals is likely because it's normal to drop honors and terminals in the beginning.

Oh, and waiting for improvement isn't very worth it. It's unlikely that you'll get more value if you don't riichi so you're basically waiting for a better wait which I don't think it's worth it considering that you already have mangan with a decent chance to win

Master

I will always riichi.

Saint

Riichi and drop 1m. You might say nooo my good wait, nooo my improvements, but who cares. That's a mangan+ wait on a terminal, it's good enough for me. Bonus point for this is that dealer 7p is sketchy already, better put your riichi stick on the table to make him rethink.

But for real, just take the rigged hand.

Saint

just riichi. double riichi dora 2 is mangan and terminal tanki is a decent wait. if you try to get a better wait, you can lose value because you won't necessarily get a shape that gives you yaku, and the wait won't be much better.
