>>>55099667Mahjong is a game of winning hands and dealing in. While there are many pros who
think that they should only try to win when they can win and try to never deal in
the rest of the time, mahjong is like the weather: the rain alternates between falling
and stopping. That is natural. If the weather is good, you say the words “what a
nice weather today”, but if it is sunny every day, there is a problem.
This time, ois a tile that appears as if it will certainly pass, but even when you
have to deal in with a tile that makes you go “hmm, this is his winning tile”, you
should still deal in. In other words, it should rain. If you try to make it sunny, the
crops will not grow and people will get in trouble. Don’t think in terms of profit
and loss. Even when you know you will deal in, follow the natural flow of
mahjong and deal in.
