As the title say, i am 1 tile away from tenpai if i discard the 4p, but i assumed front and left lord are in tenpai (turns out right and front are, but left get in tenpai the next round).

My thought process is i am 1st place, 2 pp are probably in tenpai and i am 1/2 tiles away from tenpai with a 1 han hand which force me to call riichi to be valid, i know i am seat wind but in my mind it is not worth it.

Am i been to influenced by the master of the cowardly fist or maka is pushing for seat wind?

P.s. i know it is not 90/10 but even 47 to 10 feels like a lot.

Front have not changed hand since 9s has been discarded but right did, i was not expecting him to be in tenpai to be fair but west it is just safe soo why they do not like it?

As the title said today i reached expert, i started playing on the 19th of march of this year and basically 4 minths later, after 404 games i reached expert.

I did only east 4 games due to the little amount of time i have to play.

As you can see no yakuman soo far, tried few times, mostrly 13orphans, 3 concealet triplets, 3 big dragon and all green.

I wonder if it is a good progess time or not.

I did not knew how to play mahjong before this.

I feel like lately I've started to fold more (my first 100 games i had 33% 4th)when my hand as little value or i feel like the other person hand is high value and at the same time started to try to reach tenpai when exhausted draw was closed (before when i was folding i was not trying to reach tenpai at all).

Feedback are appreacciated, i would say my average vote is B+.

And was wondering if any of you knew a good video to learn how to calculate value, i tend to riichi toitoi and chiitoi to add extra value, but sometimes is does not matter and i scare people to play safer.

And is this a good deal in %? And what about the win%? I have the feeling i win a decent amount of hands, but with a low value (average 6k maybe)

Thank you soo much!

Edit:when i am in east seat i tend to push even when i know i should fold, is it worth since i play just east rounds? (Like i have the feeling if i were to play south games i would fold if it was the first seat wind and push if it was the second)

I started playing mahjong 2 months ago.

Maybe i am just coping with my self, but.

I was 3rd place and had not a great hand at the start, thought about just folding and hoping left/right lords deal into each other, but then i saw a miracle i thought if i go for all triplets and can ron to right lord i can get second, soo i pon (maka didn't like the first pon as you can see but after, it commit to it).

I know that this probably it is not a good play and should just fold for 3rd place, i got lucky and someone kan and made my first triplet become a dora, but it is THAT bad? Or it is worth the risk?

For context, front lord never won a hand and never had a yaku, was clearly a new player, soo he could have easily dealt in me/someone else, making my plan to fold usless.

I feel like due to the context it might have been the good idea, but i am just a newbie soo.

Edit: I just realized all triplets it is just 2 han, not sure why but during the game i was thinking 3 han. I understand now why chiitoi with a close hand would have been much better, thx all!!
