you need to go ham, you need to be running spreadsheets and algebra in your head contantly at lightning speed to decipher the tile efficiency that changes ever 4 seconds, you need to make everyone else at the table believe you are a brainlet, you need to convince yourself that you are a brainlet, you need to make it your chimp match.

They don't. It's all a huge joke to fuck with you.

Yeah I just try to get matching or in order tiles and call riichi as soon as I can. Or make open hands and rush to win.
If I feel fancy, I do seven pairs.

Sometimes I win
And sometimes I don't

Making them believe you're a brainlet doesn't involve actually BEING a brainlet. Your IQ might not be high enough for this game.

I'm not the OP, by the way.

I tend to do decent enough with my strat. Even if I don't always get first.

Beginners try to score easy hands with pinfu tanyao.
But the correct thing to do is go for chanta with yakuhai

It also requires the willpower to do something risky without chickening out and the wisdom to know when to stop doing exactly that before you get yourself killed. You have to make some people ignore you, others angry at you, still others afraid of you, all while staying perfectly calm yourself. You have to all-out sprint your hand to the finish line while stopping to smell as many roses as you can. You have to spend week after week memorizing crucial theories of efficiency, probability and defense then be prepared to throw all of it away for one split-second decision.

It's like you and three other people have just robbed a bank, the alarm's been pulled and with the small amount of time you have left between stuffing money into bags and fleeing towards the exit you're shooting your friends before they shoot you.

Or you could just read dynaman's book for 30 minutes for the same amount of information presented much better by someone who is actually pretty good.
