Red Orange Game 22 Log Review

E1

No mistakes here. That was just a clean mangan win.

E2

T4: Technically, I went back in shanten to try and get a better shape with my good floater 4p and 4s. I'm not entirely sure if it was worth it.

T10: I got greedy and went for the yakuman instead of going for good wait (69p) dama haneman or riichi baiman minimum. The 6m and 7p are bad waits and I have a LOT of value in my hand.

T13: This was another chance to improve my wait that I didn't take.

E3

T3: I'm not sure about that 9m cut. I was aiming for tanyao, but maybe it's too early to break extra blocks. Maybe cut haku instead?

E4

T2: I probably should have cut chun instead. 679s can make a 6789s shape incase the aryanmen doesn't fill early. Plus, chun is once cut.

T8: The hand is valueless, but I could have mawashi-ed with 2s with a chance to accept dora 7m. 8m cut later on would have also been somewhat safe.

S1

Nothing wrong here.

S1 R2

T10+11: I just wanted to say that this is really funny.

S2

T2: Haku was once cut AND dora indicator and I didn't notice. Oof.

S2 R1

Nothing of note for this hand.

S2 R2

Same here, short hand without a chance to make mistakes.

S2 R3

Guh. Completely dama. Not sure I could have avoided that.

S2 R4

T11: I'm not sure if folding was the right decision, consider I was knee-deep in it by then.

S3

T7: Should I have pushed at 3 shanten anyway? Nah probably not.

S4

T7: 5 outs is better than 4 outs me. Guh.

T11: Damn my tenpai.

T16 And that discard from shimo would have been MY ron. Oof.

Final Thoughts

• I had some dumb early turn mistakes involving cuting the wrong yakuhai. I should really pay more attention with those hands.

• Whether I should have abandoned suuankou is a little trickier to judge. At the very least, I should consider abandoning yakuman once my hand value reaches baiman. Actually, I should see if there is any writing on this.

• That all last mistake stings. Losing 2nd to a small but significant tile efficiency mistake sucks. That happened because I thought my wait was worse than it was due to already having a 1m ankou. I should properly count my tiles instead of using vibes, especially during all last.
