2:18 I expected something like honitsu with maybe 3-sided wait. Which is at least dealer's haneman. Essentially, it's about 30% probability to lose the game for one riichi call. I would want yakuman chance for this risk.

Well played. Whenever I'm in the lead in 3 man I always run away, so I think it was absolutely correct to full fold there. Your priority is staying in first place no matter what, so you wanna avoid dealing in.

Not much to do here. You met the real Akagi on his way to rank 1. You got it next time.

1:09 Here you could discard dragon earlier. As soon as you have determined your 5 blocks, you can discard everything else, starting from most dangerous tiles. This includes dragons, because someone will likely get a pair (and you don't need another yakuhai pair anyway). 1:39 I think, better decision was to fix aka-dora in your hand. Do you really want to draw 6 later and discard aka-dora for tenpai? Minor decisions here and there accumulate into major factor. Sometimes one turn saves the game. Sometimes you are not main character though and this situation is pretty hard to deal with.

unlucky game

I think I would've kept the norths too. For a few reasons: 1. We are probably fighting for 2nd place so trying to add even more value to the hand while risking taking longer to get in tenpai might not be worth it. 2. We are dealer, so winning fast takes a bit more priority over getting lots of points since we want multiple dealer repeats. And most importantly: 3. Our hand was already pretty good even without the additional 3 han. If it was like not even a mangan then I might've gotten all 3 to add value

2 more wns for Expert 3! Based on your performance, 10.8% probability to get there in your next 2 games.

Every time you go damaten when the rest of the table likely isn't in tenpai, early in the game, and with a hand that would be mangan+ with riichi but isn't without riichi, I die inside.

slowly but steadily

In the end you could play into yakuman and still get 2nd place. 32000 points are not that scary in some situations.

Fucked around and found out.

my goat

Red Mahjong for iPhone/iPad looks so much better!

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

5:15 Without riichi it would be 5800, 11600 with riichi, so you got +400 points for ura-dora.

Well played

i think yakuman may be possible in 3player but who knows how much time it'll take , ill definitely hop into the live stream if i get the chance, hopefully ill make it! whats your plan after masters 3p?

I think you should play a bit more aggressive, and riichi a bit more often. If you have a good wait, are in tenpai, or have a big hand (if two of these conditions apply) then you should try to push even if the opponent is in tenpai. You play too safe imo. Also, idk if I can make it to the stream depending on when it'll be. I'll watch the vod tho.

Yakuman? Better get to 4-player Adept in 1 day. Oh, you tried kokushi musou. It's funny, I once dealt into baiman because another opponent went for kokushi musou. I barely saved 1st place, as a result. If someone called kan, riichi is more powerful. I normally go for ura-dora, especially with a good wait.

5:02 I would have pushed there. You were dealer and even if they pon haku and hatsu, I think it's early enough that we could've discarded the 1s, and our hand wasn't that far away from tenpai either. 5:49 never punished lol 12:53 I would always get rid of the white first here, since east is worth 2 han for us 15:38 I think I would've discarded the 6p here, still connects with the 5p with potential of getting the red 5p, and also can discard 2p to get 234 Great video and well played. For episode 200 what if you go east only until someone gets a yakuman lol? Can be 4man if you don't wanna ruin your rank on 3man. Just an idea.

I couldn't hear any music, I like that, idk how others feel about that. Nice game. Back when I was like at episode 100 or so I thought you were gonna be done by this point but sadly we are still at Expert 2 haha, that's just how it goes, especially if you only play 1 game a day. I believe in you, though.

Oh yeah, since you're playing 3 man you can just move your avatar to the empty space, that's a great idea.

Nah, I would only go for kokushi if I need a yakuman to win or if I have at least 10-11 tiles already, 9 is like almost always a draw for me lol

Wow I've never seen Chuuren before, good job

As funny as it is watching you pull every other video (lol), I think you should change this rule of one 10 draw every time you get third. Maybe make it only your losses on your alt account that count, or do 1 pull instead of 10 for every third place finish. It hurts watching your money go down the drain lol

East 1: call riichi for better value. Early wait on honor is good. East 2: riichi was fine here, it's early and your hand is cheap. I would also keep dora a little more. Value is important. East 3: don't discard dora for chiitoitsu 1-shanten. You discarded 2 han from your potential win. South 1: very early chiitoitsu 1-shanten. Try to keep terminals and honors. If you reach tenpai, you are more likely to win on those tiles. If not, those tiles are better for defense. Toitoi is fine too, but discard more dangerous tiles first. You could even kan. It's risky, but you were already in tenpai. South 1': honitsu worth 2 han, consider it. South 2: again, could go for honitsu. South 3: it's hard to do anything here.

I'd love to see you do a 4man series after this. General question about 4 man: what do you think of it compared to 3 man? I enjoy 3 man much more because it is much faster, it's easier to get hands, it's easier to get bigger hands, and it doesn't take as long to get to your turn coz only 3 players are in between. I'd love to get better at 4 man since it's like the original game mode and stuff but I have like no patience, I hate sitting there for 20 minutes and only have been in tenpai once, and it was for like a yakuhai only or something. Let me know your thoughts.

5:06 Not sure if this hand was worthy to push. If you are willing to push against riichi, I recommend at least 4 han hand in sanma (even with relatively safe tiles). If you have a few dora tiles, opponent in riichi is less likely to have a big hand and you probably have at least a mangan, so tenpai will give you positive average. With poor hand, you would have negative average even in tenpai. Open honitsu without dora is safer to play into. Sometimes you can do it to advance the game or to avoid worse. I achieved nagashi mangan recently. Literally thought "this hand is only good for nagashi mangan". Meanwhile, dealer was in riichi on East and I collected two of them in process.

"Unless it's a Tsumo... with a Yakuman" - famous last words.

Nice touch adding the video. Why don't you try playing on another client?

Normal game of sanma. Yakuman here, yakuman there. In my recent 4-player game (in Jade), I entered South 3 on 2nd place, 30000 points below 1st place. I didn't have East seat anymore and my current hand was good for quick 1000 points win. And I still managed to reach 1st place in that game. So, everything is possible.

Lmao

The most unfortunate 100th episode.

Holy fk.

Kazoe Yakuman!

I'm glad you finally took away the background and made the game bigger. Idk how it looks like in future videos but have you considered putting your model more on the bottom left so it doesn't cover up the left player's hand?

Very well played. I agreed with almost every play you made here, it feels nice to feel myself improve when agreeing with better players than me.

17:06 My choice would be to play 1 and call riichi on 2-sided wait. 19:16 I never call pon on the first discarded dragon if I really need points. Sometimes I may even call an open kan from closed hand, but yakuhai is a cheap yaku for speed, not for value.

Wow, that guy was on a roll, lmao.

1:09 Riichi after winning tile just discarded is a classic trap. And it's very early, I would expect good chances.

23:44 When you poked a dragon but fortunately missed.

What actually happens in Jade. I enter all last as East with with less than 10000 points. I tsumo sanbaiman, then I'm in tenpai at draw, then I tsumo baiman. One my opponent goes below zero and I miss 1st place by a few 100s points. Shouldn't complain about it, +18 rating points is better than 3rd place.

In my last game I took a risk to play into Big Three... For my pinfu nomi hand (1000 points with ron). It was turn 7, two sets of dragons were visible and another dragon was discarded once roughly 4 turns before. Move order was messed up, so it's hard to tell exact number.

Great win brother glad to see you in a strong first this game

Dropping the tile before it's too late and getting it next turn 😂😂 In one of the games today i would have had big 3 dragon had I not dropped everything

I would riichi in all last. Early riichi with 2-sided wait with no signs of opponents in tenpai or close. They may play defense, but you have high chance of tsumo. I doubt someone would discard dora tile anyway.

i would've
