South 4 begins uneventful.
I discard in my usual pattern with zero awareness of any danger yet, nobody calls, it looks peaceful until Toimen decides to Riichi.
His setup is a pair of South, 2-3-4 of Sou and 2-9 of Man which is DISGUSTINGLY good to have. His wait is now 1, 4, 7
My desired play would've been throwing the Man 6 after I pull a Man 3 to be Tenpai myself, but well... we'll see what happens.

So we're in Turn 11, there's danger and I need to under no circumstance lose this round.
I am lucky and draw a West which is already on the field twice, one of which is the Toimen I watch.
The Chun next pull I already discarded and so did someone else, same situation as the Haku last time, when you see 3 it's safe-ISH.
Pin 8 was thrown by the dealer, out with it in Turn 13.
Turn 14 I pull a Man 4. Of all fucking tiles. I know it can't be safe. It would've been better to fold there and throw the other Pin 8 I have just to be safe.
But anyways, why the Man 1 then?
In retrospect it was foolish, I wanted to stay Iishanten at least and not break my hand, and of course expected the terminal to be somewhat safe because they usually are - but that is nothing more than 10 years of anecdotal evidence, with this round being the proof that you

This is why I am still a Goldshitter. Any rank above Silver will mercilessly slay you if you're lazy and just play casually, you have to actually watch what happens.
So I played into Riichi, Itsuu and some Dora for 12k which was with a direct hit more than enough to kick me from 1st.

Some Voodoo I use, DO try this at home if you want or find your own ways:
- if you have a fat hand of let's say all Man and some Honors and a single red 5 of Sou, throw the Sou 5 immediately as long as you think it's quite safe. This goes for the first 6 Turns. Throw it while it's not hot yet.
- Reversely, it might be a good Idea to keep some dead tiles as fodder for later if your hand doesn't come together. I made it a habit to keep North Wind autistically until Riichi and whenever I am unsure what to throw I sacrifice it for the greater good.
- When to throw: This is where psychology comes in. You might go dead by the numbers, you can also try to analyze people during rounds.
If you want to overdo it and your hand is TRASH while someone else is already calling Turn 6, you might also try to discard potentially dangerous tiles (usually 3-6 of any suit) early on while following other's discards as good as you can.
If you are in a casual setting and drinking, to keep it fun, NEVER throw unless you do a tournament. Remember this is a game, not an autism contest like Ranked is.

If there's any situations you played into someone and want an analysis, just tag me anytime in the threads.
