When I was learning mahjong, I felt like there weren't many good ways to learn the simple but important keys to the game, so I made this video. As for me, I'm currently at 5th dan rank 1900R on Tenhou and have been consistently above average for the past 100 games or so in the 特上 rooms. I'm not sure if I'll make more videos, but I'm not sure I won't either.
1: Lone tiles - 0:00
2: Set [meld] waits - 8:38
3: Less useful tiles and overlapping waits - 16:20
4: Pairs (no pair hands focus) - 26:41
5: Pairs (multiple pair hands) - 38:00

The best advice I could give for a newer player is to not focus on the complicated strategies and the really difficult hands, and to make sure that you get all of the simple things down well first. It's easy to understand a concept such as lone 4's are generally better than lone 8's, but then miss the application in a case like: lone 8, 234, 1 (where the 1 goes with 234 to become 123 lone 4). When you learn more, you also want to learn why to make certain plays, so that you aren't using a strategy incorrectly, such as a defensive strategy when you don't need to (or intend to) defend.

Best tutorial out there. I really love the fact that you took your time and effort to describe possible hands, outcomes and what to do if you're in a difficult position. Kudos brother!

This is one of the best tutorials I have found. Much better than fumbling around with the tiles. Using examples was a great idea.

Forewarned76 that was getting to me. It’s like the dragons are wind and wind are grouped as dragons because of that single East wind.

So i watched all 3 of your strategy videos and they helped me soooooo much thank you! I feel like i'm still doing things wrong though and I was wondering if you could do me a huge favor. If i sent you some recorded gameplay of mahjong against ai could you maybe explain some of the things im doing wrong? I wouldn't mind if you made a video of it and I understand if you dont have the time. Thanks

Using poker terms for the English translation can be a bit more helpful. Trips (chasing edge wait) , gut shot (edge wait) inside gut (middle wait) double gut shot (double middle wait) Outside gut shot (2 sided) A gut shot in poker is defined by the attempt of chasing any hand and the number of outs that it pertains. Usually applied to chasing straights An out is defined by the number of cards in the deck that could get you a winning hand. 3457 is chasing a gutshot with 4 outs The 11 waits is just counting outs.

i dislike your examples..in most of your examples the point values of the hands are extremely low..some of them have riichi as their only yaku. if youre winning 1000 point hands...one dude who can build hands properly and hits a mangan can wipe out your 8-12 wins in 1 go.

It depends on things like if you're playing with red 5s and if you're prioritizing getting 1st vs avoiding last, etc, but in general I think it's best to know the best way to proceed to any winning hand, and once you know that it's easier to figure out the best way to proceed to a specific higher value hand, and easier to determine if it's worth going for. Basically making a higher value hand requires most of the same skills of just making a hand. Also, one trap that people fall into is pursuing yaku too much, so I would prefer teaching how to make a hand first. If you get riichi, you have to chance for ippatsu or uradora or tsumo and you get high value hands just like that

true, im currently 4kan (i think thats what its called? in tenhou) and I always end up playing into 12000-18000 point hands...while I can only manage to build 2000-8000 point hands most of the time..if I get any higher..its not intentional..I was looking into how to intentionally increase the value of your hand and the most efficient ways to go about doing that...or whens the best time to open your hand.. as of now with starter hands I either go for a tanyao or terminal hand by default..depending of which route gets me to tenpai faster. If I can build other yaku in the process..great..but most of the time that isnt the case...especially when you discard a tile, only to draw a matching tile on your next turn (for example..discard a dragon..only to pull that same dragon again.) ...based on your examples..tanyaos would be the most efficient hands to play with the most amount of helpful tiles..but its not a very high scoring yaku.

Ranks go from new player, 9kyuu to 1kyuu, 1dan to 10dan, then tenhou rank, so it's either 4kyuu or 4dan. Pinfu is really common to aim for. People aim for some combination of riichi, pinfu, tanyao, dora a lot, but of course getting those requires some luck. There are some things you can do to aim for higher value hands but a lot of it is still luck for getting something good. Also there are different styles of playing that can work out, like aim for fast hands more, or aim for big value hands more, call more, etc.

Thats pretty cool, when do you feel a hand is ok to fold? and how do you go about folding when multiple players have riichi'd I play in other people hands more often than I think I should even if I fold what should be safe tiles. I even played into a hand when a guy was waiting on a North wind in the west seat and someone had discarded a north in the previous turn...things like that puts you on tilt. Lol. And I checked it and its 4kyuu.

@@DdRMaSTeRDan Sure but you have to pursue yaku at least a little. I'm a completely new player, and I can build a "winning" hand just fine, with zero yaku. The problem I have is that I either build a winning hand with no yaku, or aim for a yaku based on my opening hand, and never get there. Also either tring to build a winning hand and dealing into someone's ron, or not dealing in to anyone and having a hand that is thirty tiles away from tenpai by the time it's a draw. Game's hard.
