This moment was so funny 1:27:36

I wasn’t able to watch this live, but I enjoyed your commentary and found your thoughts very informative!

Great commentary, it is quite helpful to gain insight into the thought process. Thank you.

6:15 I actually thought about discarding 9s in this situation but I am not completely sure. If we're not calling kan immediately, then the 4th 9s can be seen as the worst isolated tile in the hand. Discarding 2m loses 3 tiles of acceptance over discarding 9s. Cutting 9s also gives the option to use 9s as a pair later if we draw 3m and need to fix 123m with the haku pon. Maybe I'm underevaluating the loss of 24/32 fu this causes, although kan is a double edged sword... This was very interesting, thank you for the video :D

5:07 how do you rule out a dealer full flush here based on the fact that there are two pinzu sets out? At this point I'm guessing (incorrectly) that the dealer is at tenpai for a full flush and so discarded their weakest pin.

I'm a super beginner in the bronze room, and it's crazy how often brutal efficiency wins. Unless you have a really good dealt hand to start with, by the time you get to 1 shanten with some decent yaku someone will already ron and win a 1 han tanyao for 1000 pts. I'm still tramatized when someone killed my 1 shanten ryuu -ii-sou with like one or two measly han. lol

谢谢。 这样的逻辑也很重要

I love all the high level advice you give, but as a beginner I have to admit I sometimes have lots of questions which come up while listening to some of your videos. I more or less could follow most of our reasoning here, but I didn't understand how you knew that he was waiting on a 4 sou. Given that he called pon and chi on pin tiles my assumption would have been that he was going for a Honitsu hand

Why didn't you take the win on the 1 man? 5:55

This video was super interesting! I'm fairly new to majhong, and I'm only expert rank, but I think you played this hand as close to perfectly as possible. But in Washizu's words, "To play perfectly and still lose. Thats what mahjong is all about"

In terms of the 7m vs 3p for Mortal at 7:05, I suspect it's because Mortal's analysis is mostly if not fully digital. If I'm not mistaken, Naga is trained on human play, which will inevitably have some analogue reasoning being used at some point, being incorporated into the models. Honestly I agree with Mortal more here. Even if we draw 4p, I value a 23p block more than a 466p block because waiting on a middle tile that can extend to dora (and the wait is not that good either) is kind of scary, don't think people will throw it. And as evidenced by early pinzu throws, if we riichi and someone pushes, it's not unreasonable that they don't need lower pinzu and will toss a 14p.

Thanks for the great video as always. At 5:19 you give a long string of unlikely waits quickly. Can you give a little more detail on your reasoning for those particular unlikely waits?

This is impossible for me to understand with all the Japanese terms, is there somewhere I can learn all of this?

very informational thank you !

Hi, there is one unrelated question I wanted to ask. There is the new version of mortal and some people said, that it is stronger than Naga. What is your opinion and which one will you use?

2:41 Is there a particular reason to drop Nan over Pei here? It's my understanding that, all other factors being equal (tied score, all four copies live), you typically throw Shimocha's wind first and let Kamicha potentially Pon later, so I'm wondering if there's another reason to do the reverse that I didn't consider.

I am so happy to be able to watch your tutorials! Before I found your channel, I was stuck at Expert in Mahjong Soul and didn't understand what I was doing wrong. But now, I am still stuck at Expert, but at least now I understand why I play so mediocre

3:49 I really like you pointing out here that the 33s still had a purpose even though in this scenario we choose to cut it. I think a lot of intermediate players don’t have a lot of fluidity in their gameplans and completely miss that a tile or block can serve a purpose in case of certain scenarios but at the same time should be cut in the case of other scenarios, which make those tiles neither mandatory nor useless. Awesome video!

Would we ask similar questions/make similar decisions if the "obvious hand upgrade" was ssk instead? What about iitsu, mentanpin, or sanankou for example?

Great luck at the end, thanks for the upload!

Good video!

My logic is no riichi, no ura Dora, unless I have reason to suspect a pretty big hand I’ll usually take my chances with players in dama. Most times I only end up losing like 2000 points to it. N I’d rather take the occasional risk than folding all over the place.

I think I'm just too new to this game that I understand nothing in this video. 😢 I don't understand what is musuji and in the quiz part, I'm not even sure which tiles you meant to sakigiri since you just said yes and no. So this video left me with more questions than answers as a beginner 😢

But by your logic you're basically saying you keep dora honor tiles if you need to use them, so as long as its not early game why would i be throwing a dora honor tile then because people will want them, it's not about dealing in but the speed of their hand can increase dramatically and they're less likely to fold those hands. If I have a good hand with mentanpin i would still rather throw the dora honor tile out because the value and speed of my hand is likely to be higher than others.

To clarify, So we only conclude 4p is safe because he discarded 6p before 3p? If it was 3p before 6p then possibly he can have a shape like 345566 waiting on 47p. Also if we assume 4p is safe then automatically we also assume 1p + 7p suji is safe? The 5p discard is the discard that reveals 5aka then I assume. Please let me know if I understood all of that correctly 😅

I just got to the Jade room last month and I have been struggling to find consistent success. I am exactly that player who is “too anxious to deal in” as you mentioned in this video, and I have been randomly recommended your channel through the RUclips algorithm. It feels like a gold mine! I am going to watch all your videos to learn and improve my play. 😊 thank you for the awesome educational content

Great content and channel thank you :)

This is one of my favorite aspects of mahjong. Finding unlikely allies in a game with otherwise such little direct interaction is insanely cool!

Very instructive example, everything was clear and the explanations were concise. Great video!

You're the Feng 7D book guy, now I'll have to binge watch all your videos

Your videos are awesome!

very insightful video!

Thanks for this detailed explanation!

i discovered mahjong like a week ago, depth of this game is so immeasurable

What does musuji 23/78 and 456 mean? Does it mean that I don't sakigiri those tiles as a dealer if they are not suji against someone?

I found that nobody had answered for the last quiz yet. As Non-Dealer, Sakigiri double musuji 456 should be corresponded to turn 5~14, I suppose. So the answer is from 5th turn, right?
