Even with the pon, we don't guarantee getting out of last, and even if we do, tsumo next round can just put us back in 4th again. So I'd rather look to get into tenpai closed for a bit more, which has a much higher chance of avoiding 4thp if we win, and can even shoot us into first to end the game if we're lucky. If another tile from the shanpon comes out, or a 2nd copy of 7s gets discarded by the player on the left, I'd probably call, and be sad about it. Here, I'll wait for a bit, still.

i remember getting a game that lasted until south 3
feels like a scam to get so few points at the end, but hey it would suck to also lose more points
