Haha yeah I play at LAPOM on the days I can and then also play at PML in NorCal too😉 The 120k doesn’t happen everyday so I wish I filmed that lol See you next time!

Kanzen Sakizuke is kind of hard for me to understand. Is it that calling for something which would otherwise be considered yakuhai will not count?

[@RiichiMahjongCentral]

Kanzen Sakizuke means that the first set of tiles you call Pon/Chi/Kan has to be related to your winning hand/Yaku. Also you can't do Kata Agari. For example, if you are tenpai without Riichi, and you have a Hatsu and 1 Pin pair, and can only win on Hatsu to make a Yaku, that is called Kata Agari. Another example would be waiting on 6 Man and 9 Man, and 9 Man would make your hand Ittsuu. If you have Pinfu as well, you can win with that, but you can't win just with Ittsuu unless you solidify a Yaku when you win. It's an older rule, and most places I've seen and been to don't use it anymore as they use the Ari-Ari rule. Hope that helps!

@@RiichiMahjongCentral I think I understand, just one quick clarifying question: So, say I have 3 Hatsu in a concealed hand for a yakuhai and that's my only yaku. If I call chi in order to complete my hand faster, would that make my hand invalid under Kanzen Sakizuke because that chi had nothing to do with the Hatsu?

[@RiichiMahjongCentral]

If the Hatsu is concealed, then it’s ok!
