Toitoi, San Ankou, and Chiitoitsu - Riichi Mahjong Guide

[@ofrocks]

dude, thanks a lot for these videos. They've been very helpful in the process of learning more complex riichi mahjong winning hands.

[@hana-chan420]

These yaku videos are amazing!! You went far beyond what anyone watching these videos would expect, it's like you're the ultimate mahjong guru on the internet lol. Thank you so much for your effort.

haha i'll let my brain rest for a few hours before watching the following vidéos, not a good idea to try watching lots of vidéos in a row when you are a beginner :D

Спасибо большое

[@Shado_Chimera]

If you make a closed kan does that count as a concealed tripled for San Ankou? I'd assume it does but can't be too sure.

[@LightGrunty]

Yes, it does.

[@taylorcampbell332]

@8:00 you say you automatically get 2 ura dora because everything in your hand is a pair. Why? Is that just a rule?

[@LightGrunty]

I said that if you get ura dora, it would be 2 because of the nature of the hand, not that you always automatically get 2 ura dora.

[@AnjuDieQualle]

think about it. if you get an ura dora it's automatically two of them, since you have pairs. So if the ura dora is a 4-pin, you get two since you have two 5-pin.

lol wow having played so much mahjong now and seeing this comment I feel silly lol

Winning a chiitoitsu hand awards you 25 fu, but if you declared Riichi and Ron, do you get another 10 fu added to the 25 fu awarded for chiitoitsu?

[@LightGrunty]

No, chiitoitsu is always scored as 25 fu and does not gain fu from any other source.

[@Kamoleplace]

@@LightGrunty So, if perhaps five pairs are red, white and green dragon and pairs of prevailing and seat wind, the fu is still 25?

[@LightGrunty]

@@Kamoleplace That's correct. Chiitoitsu is always scored as 25 fu.

[@Kamoleplace]

@@LightGrunty Thanks!

[@victortrinh2208]

So, can you win with a chiitoitsu?

[@LightGrunty]

Of course. If you're tenpai for chiitoitsu, then the wait will necessarily be a tanki wait, so you would just be waiting to complete your seventh pair. Naturally, this type of wait isn't as strong as other types of waits, but you could always choose a tile that you think the opponents will discard easily.

[@victortrinh2208]

Light Grunty So about how many winning hands are irregular like this one? Like not the normal shaped hand.

[@LightGrunty]

Just two. The second one is kokushi musou, which is a yakuman. It's covered later in the series.
