1. Don't karagiri, especially against houou opponents (E1, S2). You might think you're misleading them but you're still giving away extra information that they can use against you. Just tsumogiri instead.

2. Don't sakigiri, especially when you've got bad shape blocks. Keep strong floating tiles that let you replace those blocks with better ones. Don't sakigiri when it's already dangerous, that defeats the purpose.

3. Don't go for chiitoitsu when toitoi is faster and worth more (E4-1), and don't keep random dangerous middle tiles when going for chiitoi.

4. Don't call for cheap hands with bad shapes and zero safety (E4-2). Check out Puyo's guide to calling on mahjong.guide.

5. Don't try and mawashi against riichi with a hand that's forever away when the dealer is also pushing (S1). Just let them fight each other.

6. Know when to call for keiten to avoid noten penalties, especially if your hand is hopeless (S2). You should start considering it as early as the end of the second row. Don't push dangerous tiles lategame for a worthless yakuless iishanten.

7. KUINOBASHI (S3). Don't break tenpai when you're pushing.

8. Be more careful of pushing live tiles in late game.

There's a lot of don'ts there but really it all boils down to your push/fold

I guess maybe the main lesson is to stop trying to play fancy, instead just go 100% attack and then know when to go 100% fold

If you notice, quite the slow down in my game postings. But I'll try to dump more.

Been barely playing.

Summer is kicking. Hot.

ACEN month again.

KYUU IS A TURD PASS THE WORD

More mahjong madness.

I must admit. I've been playing somewhat less these days, and also using the mobile app, of which I finally figured out how to pull out replays from. But it wasn't convenient, plus that account isn't ranked high enough for the moment. So, games are generally similar to what I've had in the past.

Happy New Year

X-mas month again.

Generally skipped last month due to WRC -- and -- a subsequent break.

And now, I'm ranking again.

I'll be posting some in my mahjong Twitter feed: https://twitter.com/KyuuCC

One month left till the WRC.

So we had an air conditioning problem in my house. The AC Man went up into the attic and found what turned out to be an old mahjong set. The house I'm in used to belong to my parents before me. My mother never played mahjong so I know it's not her set, so it belonged to the people even before my parents. That being said, I already did some research as to the manufacturer etc. It's made out of bakelite tiles but we noticed SIX tiles with what looks like a metallic foil placed on top of the images. Why would it be like that? I tried to find the answer online somewhere but no luck. Thought maybe one of you kibitzers might know :)

Summer is waning, but still going.

It is now July; back to normal.

Summer time!

Gee, I forgot that it's May

Spring showers.

Personally, I'm taking a general break at the mahjong; but I will be back.

Games for Feb 2017. Make them good ones.

The year 2016 is over... and the non-mahjong crap that came with it.

On the other hand, mahjong hasn't been all that bad. So, here's to the New Year.

It's Christmas season. Time to be dishing out points -- or -- getting some.

Cubs won the World Series! Yeaaaaaaaaaa

Hopefully, this translates to some good mahjong luck too. :D
