Amazing explanation! I always struggle with the folding part and this makes so much sense thank you 👏

Thanks so much. Very helpful.

Please make more videos!

Oh my god i needed this SO BAD, im still very much scratching intermediate and i have lots of trouble counting shanten in the short amount of time the turn is given, this is an entire boat in the storm i was swimming on. Thank you so much, now ppl will be more focused on hating me based on my amazing luck than my slow decision making lol

I know is been lilke a year since uploaded but just around a mont ago started playing mahjong and i been struggling with a rule of thumb of chii/pon so this is great stuff thank you!

Thank you so much for this technique lesson video, it might be just what i need to make a difference and get from Adept 3 to Expert.

Video is great and appreciate the help on how to do basic defense as a beginner since i was a bit clueless past the (discard what is already discarded), plus i always thought that its not really worth it most of the time ruin your own hand in the chances of someone else winning, since they are already one step away from it, so might as well push the attack, as 2nd worst case scenario is a exhaustive draw and have tenpai points. Also another way to think of it is that by some miracle of chance you are both winning on the same wait and a doble ron lessens the impact or maybe even draw a win

Great vid!

One funny thing is to reach tenpai by calling riichi tile and win on their next discard. As a little bonus, calling prevents ippatsu.

I would add some safety tiers: SS safety tier: 100% safe against any riichi or player with opened hand. SSS safety tier: the tile discarded by kamicha right before your turn.

The thing about 4th place rate is that there is a good chance to get 25-30 out of 100, even if it's actually 20% (my is 21% in 350 hanchans). It may take a long time to get positive change. On the other hand, sometimes you get an explosive growth.

This strategy is so simply yet so good! Thanks so much. You are the best.

It's sound like you just lost to Riichi and you are very angry that you film this video

What AI do you use for these voice overs?

For future viewers: Taatsu means pair of tiles that can become a run with one more tile. There are 3 types. Side wait: 23, 34, 56 etc these have two tiles that can complete a run (23 can be completed with 1 or 4). This is the strongest taatsu, try to always keep this in hand Middle wait: 13,24,57,79 etc these have one middle tile left to complete a run (13 needs 2 to complete, 57 needs 6) Edge wait: 12,89 these have one terminal tile and can be completed with one tile (3 for 12, 7 for 89) this is the weakest taatsu

what a dumb video

Very informative video. All your videos are wonderfull. I got a question. I see why the no extra tile shape is better compare to the extra tile shape. However, it is really a different IIshanten and if so, why ? Because an other exemple is a Sticky IIshanten with one or both floating tile form Nobetan with already existing group. This will also increase the waiting pattern to go tenpai, as the no extra tile vs extra tile situation, but the Nobetan containing Sticky IIshanten is not considered as a different type of IIshanten. Correct ? So is there a reason why in the first case, we give an other name to the IIshanten because the ''floating'' tile is adjacent to one groupe and not in the second case ? That is working on me mind since a while an if you can share what you think about this it would be very appreciate.

Does anyone else find this a little too fast? I know I can pause and go back, but sheesh. Is that why so many videos are so fast? So that they get replays? Not fun for the viewer tho.

The opening problem: it is interesting that the efficiency calculator disagrees, preferring to discard 6s over 4m. The rationale here is that the tile acceptance remains very similar in iishanten, but (34 vs 35), but actually completing the hand is slightly faster with the former. Comparing the options: 1. The "average" cases are all exactly the same, leading to a tenpai waiting on 6 tiles. 2. The best case is better for keeping 4m: keeping 4m allows to draw 3m, discard 6p and be waiting on 11 tiles (245m). 3. The worst case is also better for keeping 4m: drawing another 4m, for example, leads to a shanpon wait on 4 tiles, while discarding 4m and drawing 3p leads to waiting on 3m or the last 6p (only 3 tiles). On the other hand, 3p, one of the more likely tiles to be drawn here, leads to a far better acceptance at tenpai after discarding 4m (8 vs 3). Of course, other players' discards will factor in heavily here, but I thought it is worth mentioning this here. What do you think?

I haven't thought that I was doing this and am a novice in Mahjong Soul, maybe it's because I play Poker and I know how to count cards.

Very nice and simple information to understand, 😊 thanks

Your video is so amazing. Simple and clear but no BS. Please continue to teach us Mahjong, You are a great sensei

can you please make a video for mahjong key terms i find it quite difficult to know all the mahjong terms as a new player ,thank you

I didn't know that some of these concepts were part of genuine Mahjong theory. Essentially, my experience with this video is that I excitedly came in to see what I could be doing to improve my plays. Then I very quickly realized that I'm already engaging in certain parts of 5 Block Theory already. To a certain degree, I've been following your discard hierarchy on a more intuitive basis--meaning that I didn't know that some of my discard schemes completely aligns with 5 Block Theory. Up until now, they've just felt like correct discards to make! Even though that's true, it's also true that there's a lot about this theory that I still have yet to fully understand. Either way, it's really nice to know that I seem to be on the right track to improving my play! I'll do my best to learn this theory, but it's still fun to make risky plays sometimes. If over half my starting hand is honors and terminals, _why not_ go for 13 Orphans? lol

Thank you for helping us how to read the stats. Seriously, my Mahjong skill is really freaking bad since all three stats except for Call Rate are bad. In Mahjong Soul, my deal-in rate is 15.06% and my 4th place rate in South is over 28%, and I really need to improve the stats. Usually, a lot of deal-in situation comes from being offensive while opponent is Riichi and right on time my hand is tenpai, then most of the time if my hand is closed I choose to chasing Riichi with the opponent and most of the time I lost that duel by dealing into the opponent Riichi.

Great video! Thank you!

really glad i stumbled upon your videos. Your teaching is so good

Hey, Samurai! Are you okay? You haven't uploaded in a while.

thanks for the tips! also, don't listen to the other guy in the comments. the background music is awesome

Im a new player i love how everything is explained, the words itself and using simple words like bamboo and not its actual names, thank you!

Hi , i was wondering what makes 8s a safer discard than 3p? because i dont see the suji like (5s?) in the discard pile. learning a lot from your videos!

"Aryan men" creates so much hilariousness in this video

calling it "no-chance" feels like false advertising XD

Great explanation! I look forward to future videos about Mahjong!

Your vids are so clear and concise it's actually insane I went out from Expert 3 to Master (again) without a single 4th place ! And now I feel confident going only higher ! Thank you so much Mahjong Samourai 🥰

Best mahjong strategy videos!

China away tsumo U can't fold

Wait. Could somebody explain to me the situation at 4:31? The advice is - to destroy Tempai with wait for 2-5 sow while there is only 1 winning tile left. The proposal is to wait for 5 sow(a winning tile for an abondined tempai) to create a new tempai, with a wait for 3-6 pin, which at best wouldb be awaut for 6 tiles. What's the point? Like you see? You are destroying a tempai, then you need a tile with which you could have won, to get another tempai. What have I missed?

How does this come into play in regards to the 5 block theory video you posted? Since if we go by those rules, in the first example at 1:48, that would be a 4 block hand, (4567m, 4567p, 223s, 678s) -> we should discard something from one of the 4-tile complex shape, not the 3s, if I understand corectly.

Thank you for the videos! I am a bit confused if this works everytime, since some complex shapes can be counted in ways that give diferent points. For example: 56677 can be either: - multiple ways to arrange it to give 2 points: 56, 67, 7 or 5, 66, 77 - one way that gives 3 points: 567, 67 Is there a rule that decides how we should count them correctly?

Can you tell me what voice this is? I def wanna use it in some presentation maybe haha

Thanks for the great tipps, that is really helpful. Only the background music is horrible.

Love this hack! Please do more videos!

This video was very helpful, thank you!

I really like the first AI voice you use in the “2 Essential Techniques make you Expert” All the other AI voices sound robotic. Thank you for the great videos.

As a native English speaker, I like this AI voice.

Thanks for this! It was really easy to understand and the examples were very helpful!

I am so greedy, I don't like to fold! nya

Very cool! This will definitely help. This might be a slightly niche/advanced topic, but do you think you could make a video on 7 pairs? I’m never really sure what’s best to cut in order to get into tenpai fast with 7 pairs. Thank you!

Riichi is strong action, riichi is justice!!! Thanks a lot for these videos, I’ve been playing by feel for a long time without mastering the fundamentals, so this channel is really helpful!
