We were a little tired after driving all the way from Tokyo to get rained out of Chehon’s live outdoor performance. So a little nap in the car turned into all the way to dinner. We didn’t make it to JangQ until after a couple beers.
I won the first game handily and then had in interesting hand early in the second game too.
Third hand of the east round in the south seat, after 6 draws I was already one away from ready with this monster:
345(red)5東東東南南南西西北
There were already 2 北 out and 1 西 but I was still planning on waiting for the last of either if I could pon or draw the other. When I drew another 4 it seemed time to give up on the limit hand.
With totally suspiscious discards in the characters and dots I decided not to reach. My very next draw was the 3!
Concealed Self Draw, East, South, Double Run, Half Flush, red dora: 4000/8000.
It gave me a pretty good lead until 4 hands later when Jenn reached, the dealer reached after her, and then she threw his winner of 18,000 points.
DOH!
Well, guess there’s nothing for it but to head right back as soon as they open today!
今日は「Mad A Mad Sunday」って言うライブのために大阪に来たのに、雨で中止になった！
狙ったのはChehonって言うレゲエの歌手。なぜならひとつの曲は徹マンの話！「麻雀Fight Club」！麻雀格闘倶楽部？
雨でがっかり。
サー、どうしよう。。。
やっぱり雀荘に行くしかない
JANGQへ行こう！
実は最近、チャンピオンズだけじゃなくて何でももったいないって言われてる。
リーグ戦で一つの打牌で27P位損した。
特昇リーグで二回河井さんのリーチに対して、ションパイの字牌を捨てて、20Pくらい損してる。
両方終わったら、紺野さんに言われた：もったいない。
そして昨日のチャンピオンズリーグ。三回戦終わったら36Pとってた。
4回戦、南2局、32,000点持ち、北家、ドラは
、7巡目チャンたに行けそう？
上家から
出たらチーした。早い！
全然早い！
ツーカ、馬鹿！
発生した瞬間もう後悔してた。これは駄目だろう。
やっぱりそれから誰も鳴かせてくれなくて、何も入らなくて、結局7700を振った。
それから取り返ししようと思って、12,000を振った。
終わったら吉田さんに言われた：もったいない。
最近調子が悪くないのに結局それしか言われてない。
sigh
Well I finished with a positive 20 which isn’t so bad except that again it should have been more.
In the second game, the second to last hand of the South round, after Kawai had reached, I chied to be waiting for the 4-7 of dots, except that I could only win on the 4 or I’d have no hand point. Then I drew the first South tile I could see. I had a positive score and still my turn as dealer on the last hand. There was no reason to throw that tile but I did anyway and it cost me 5200, pushed me into negative territory, and gave me a lousy lead-in to my turn as dealer. No surprise it ended quickly and I had a minus 3.4 for that game.
On to the last game, Kawai reached early again on the second to last hand. I drew another West to go with the West in my hand and the two Souths I already had. The hand was looking like a good shot at 4 triples and two Value Tiles but for the love god Garthe! There was a reach. I threw the first East, which looked suspicious after all his discards were middle tiles except for the reach tile which was another West. Of course he had a 7 Pairs hand and was waiting for that East.
That pushed me under and gave me a negative for that game too. So not only did I lose points on those hands but I gave myself negative placing bonuses too.
What a waste.
My favorite hand was this one, second hand of the first game, my turn as dealer, dora was 
.
I got to ready finally on the 12th draw, and I didn’t have such a good wait so I decided not to reach even though it was pretty much a final shape for the hand. Without the reach the other players could play a little looser and it was only a matter of time before one of them threw my winner. Kawai threw it on the 15th draw and I had a nice 12,000 point start in that first game.
So actually, I was on the road to finishing positive in all 4 games but went for it in strange situations which cost me at least another 20 points. Given my effort to play tighter, I need to remember to continue to play tight ALL the time. Alright not quite so ALL the time, but definitelly when I have a hand that’s not worth fighting for.
Wonder if I can remember that all the way to Champion’s League tonight.
