Your Videos are really helpful to improve in Mahjong, keep doing so!

3:45 Wait, how can you chii the 6p from that position? I thought you can only chii from the person to your left.

Pon chun gives you chance to increase your han. Chun, hatsu, honitsu, toitoi (6). Tsumo adds 2, sanankou, baiman. Dama 14m, you could get yasume 4m ron. 1m - Menhon, hatsu, chanta, iipeikou. (7) Baiman only if you tsumo. (3 1m remaining) 4m - Menhon, hatsu, (4han mangan) Tsumo will give extra han but not extra points. Now that you've opened your hand, can sit on the ankous, or open kan, for potential rinshan kaihou. So, pon chun, in this case, gave more options, therefore was the 'right' move imo.

A question at 1:51. In example three you mention the chance at sanshoku, does a chance count towards whether you should riichi. The point from Riichi book 1 mentioned was riichi if you have at least one han other than riichi, so is that only definite hans you know you will get if the hand wins or would prospective ones count as well even if there isn’t another han outside of riichi other than the prospective one?

I feel like the subtracting overcomplicates this slightly. Instead I’d rephrase it as: At 1 shanten stop pushing at 8 against a non dealer and 6 against the dealer. For tenpai stop pushing at 13 against a non dealer and 11 against the dealer. This way to find the number all you do is quickly add up the total from the discards and then compare without the added step of subtracting from 18 which doesn’t really serve a purpose.

These tutorials are amazing, thank you!!

10:08 there is not that much difference between 1000 points hand and 2000 points hand. I would drop 7m there but I won't be so fixated to keeping a dora

I wish you turned on numbers on tiles, that would make it infinitely more watchable for newer players that aren't used to recognizing kanji and designs immediately. When you have to follow the game with captions on top of tiles, having to remember what those numbers are is sometimes too much. I get that comes naturally when you are used to it and you don't even think about it. Hope you continue making videos, thanks!

To think that the Washizu player lost..

Sometimes it's even possible to play into someone's obvious honitsu (assuming dora is in another suit). I was able to escape 4th place via kokushi musou once. Got 48000 by ron.

What should i do so i can join tournaments too?

Most of my yakumans were from the last place. This is exactly how it feels.

A single Ron is often worse than that.

while me and my dumbass still getting stuck in bronze room lmaoooo

Really enjoying learning from these videos! Thank you.

Red Mahjong GC for Android phones and tablets looks so much better!

27:40 Great read! That's why you're a Saint lol

saki characters after flashback:

The music ‘staying alive’ got me weak

He’s the protagonist

I have a notebook with notes from various mahjong books and online lessons. Your guides are always super valuable! I'd really love to see more about a topic you've touched on both in this and other videos -- playing around the idea that mahjong isn't a 1-versus-3 game. In this video, for instance, you talked about shifting haitei to the fourth place player to support them into potentially making the first place dealer kanburi into second place. In Mahjong Techniques Explained #4, you talked about having more options than just Push and Fold, and that there are also the options of Assist and Block. This is by far the most interesting part of mahjong to me and I'd love to hear more from you about the topic.

I just started out so I have no idea what terms like fold, push, and deal-in mean Would you happen to have a vid explaining those terms?

This video came to me in the perfect time Been feeling rather down and it's actually because of all 3 problems you mentioned lmao Thanks for the advices, gonna try working on it

Thank you for this comprehensive video. It would seem I still have a lot to learn about this game, but I’m so happy to see more content creators help to break the language barrier so people like me can learn more. If possible, I’d love to see a video about when and how to decide what yaku to go for in a given scenario, or maybe common pitfalls for newer players. Thank you very much once again, and have a great day!

I just finished a game and I won Mangan with 3 Richii in the game.

I'm in adept and i keep loosing whenever i turn into 3 stars. And I had enough because i kept loosing and still stuck in adept

:o

Sorry for commenting on such an old video, but I have question about South 3 (33:40): I know the 34m and 67m are overlapping, but even so, wouldn't it be better to keep 6m and discard 89s and have a 667m shape? I think maybe I avoid penchan waits too much but it seems like after discarding the 6m, you still have 6 shapes: 34m 67m 11p 35p 678s 89s

>Adept or Expert >Naga analysis waste of money, you need her only if you 6th dan or above

21:20 why no chiitoi? You break 1-shanten if you go for a normal hand.

Obvious fundamental mistakes I noticed after review: 13:59 is the biggest mistake, not sure what I was thinking. Should be 3m 21:51 should be 2s 33:28 shoild be 2m

East 2.. and already 0 ... what happen?

As long as you win, you made the correct play. No question asked.

Just found these and they are great! I've been climbing up (Exp2 currently) and I really appreciate a thought process. A couple of times you'd make a play, I'd think "hmm.. I don't think I'd do that" and then your comments say "I should've done [this] here" -- it really helps me to feel better about my game. Butt I'm also seeing things that I never thought about, like keeping Pinfu-only hands dama. I used to only think about doing that with tanyao and was just insta-Riichi'ing, even with bad waits.

Could you explain more details why you decide to declare richii at dora or expensive suit wait?

It's so satisfying when you first realize assisting is an option. I've had plenty of games where someone has like three dora and I assist another player with a much weaker hand just to bring forth the next round.

Fantastic video! Very informative and easy to understand, as usual. After having a fellow player look at some of my games recently, I realized I had a problem: whenever I saw my haipai, unless there was a VERY obvious way to make a high-scoring open hand, I would almost always default to pursuing riichi. Going for riichi by default isn't _that_ bad, but I realized it was costing me a lot of flexibility. For reference, my call rate was hovering around 20% before this. I've since tried to think harder about calls, and to generally just call a bit more aggressively; so far I've actually found decent success with it. That same player helped me understand why calling more is important (as well as when / how to do it), and a lot of what he mentioned matches up with the tips in this video, so I'm glad to see I'm on the right track!

I learned some neat things, thankya ^^

I really like you also including examples of Japanese pro players. The English-speaking mahjong world is missing out on so much good content just because of the language barrier.

Very informative! After watching your videos I finally reached my all time peak of adept!

“Kan is also not recommended” - not in mahjong with EY 😂

Dont listen to this man nonsense. When you see a blue pon or a green chii, you have to click it, its a rule! Only click Skip if youre a chicken!

Thanks man, very informative 👍

Thanks for these videos. They really help building a strong basis for my games. An important topic would be how to play towards the ending of a round, especially considering keiten and exhaustive draws. I don't really know how to judge if going for keiten is worth the risk of pushing certain tiles.

Slowrolling the most mid hand of all time is crazy
