Yaku defense guide: Toitoi and Yakuhai
October 7th, 2009 by UmaiKeikiWell hello there. It seems that some strategy for defending against specific yaku is in order here! Today, I shall discuss some ways to fight back against THEM TOITOIS, as well as those "yakuhai + rage" hands people complain about.
If you've been playing Mahjong for a while then you probably know of some environments where these yaku feature very prominently in the play style. Are you frustrated? This post will be intended to help people, not to criticise them, so we won't be complaining about this or that ruleset, environment, or whatever. Rather, we'll come up with ways to counterattack the people who take advantage of the opportunity afforded by the rules to cheapen the game.
Also, you might have heard some yaku counterattack strategy already, but only in cases where it is treated very briefly. Thanks to our extensive statistical research tools, I hope we will be able to go a bit more in-depth when looking at what our opponents are doing, and see how this compares with theories we have heard.
