The north tile wouldn’t be joker bait because you had 3 of them

[@MAHJLIFE]

It would be joker bait but it’s usually not good when there are three in-hand.

When a pong or Kong are exposed why is 1 tile Laid on the horizontal

@@KathrynKlaus-f7j Mahjong Time offers four Asian versions of the game in addition to American mah jongg. In Japanese/Riichi mahjong and Chinese/Mahjong Competition Rules, a tile claimed for an exposure is sideways to indicate which player discarded the tile. If the tile was discarded by the player on the right, the tile on the right is sideways. If the player on the left discarded the tile, the tile on the left is sideways. If the opposite player discarded the tile, the tile in the middle is sideways. This method is not part of the American mah jongg game but it’s part of their code so we can take advantage of it for reading hands. mahjlife.com/wiki/hand-reading-article-222/
