But see it this way these big hands are once in a lifetime occurences. Like I got a haitei or a rinshan kaihou like once in super lucky games but never again. | ||

 Thanks for the encouragement, I already got over the game and my 4th place streak because it was obviously my fault (literally forgot daisangen existed, otherwise I would have looked at the pool and just folded). I actually haven't played mahjong for while because I am also having a go at... well, Go and this thread seems so empty =/ Probably was not good idea to jump into ranked games after such hiatus- I forgot that valuable thing called restraint and got consistently destroyed. | ||

At least I'll be able to play better now without psychological pressure to recover my pts. | ||

This game shows -- you can come right back in the end rounds. I have to admit; I played so pathetically in the early-to-mid stages, I might as well have rage-quitted. Especially after losing to a haneman while forcing a hand in tenpai waiting for a chun. Thankfully, I did not. Double Yakuman for the win.

Of course, you can work your way out of furiten by changing your wait, unless you happen to call riichi. If you do not accept a "ron" from another player, then you are temporily furiten for one go-around. | ||

I've been playing jap mahjong for like a bit over a year I guess. Started on Janryumon before later switching to Tenhou. Currently 三段 780 / 1200pt R1811. Been playing in the 一般 lobby but never seem to be able to play in the 上級 lobby. Is premium required for 上級 and higher lobbies? | ||

Is premium required for 上級 and higher lobbies? If you aren't paying you have to play in economy mode to gain full access; that's the tab right beside the OK button, containing the four lettered japanese word or something. You'll know you did it like if the game background starts looking like, according to some people, Brood War-ish.

Thanks for the tip man. If it wanst for you Id still be grinding myself all the way up to 4dan with that crappy 30 points for win and 50 for a loss. Are the games much tougher in 上級? Also whats the benefits of premium if you we can have access to everything in the economy version? 4dan here I come :DDDDDDDDDDDDD | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/1BcXA.png) Just hit 4dan yesterday. I usually play the east games and rarely touch hanchan so I thought I was gonna get raped going into the 上級 league, but guess not haha. Played 13 games and went 6-2-5-0. Now hoping not to get crushed in 特上. If anyone wants to go through games or hands Ill be happy to share my thoughts. | ||

Can you give me any general advices or something? Edit: Also, which game mode (out of nashi/ari/ari-red) do you primarily play in? | ||

The most important advice I can give you is to not to feed into other peoples hands. You've probably heard this a million times already but if your struggling to get to the 1700-1800 rating area, this must still be a major problem for you. You should almost never consider continuing with your hand if someone riichis and your not at least in iishanten(1 tile from tenpai). Because of the extra points from riichi and possible uradoras, it is very easy to hit a mangan. Another important point is to understand that the games we play are ladder games where your rating and and rank pts are calculated base off your final placements at the end of the game and not how many points you have. Because of this it is fairly important to be able to calculate non mangan hands. This including understanding how to count the number of fu points and memorise the number of points scored for at least the 25fu 30fu and 40fu hands (both tsumo and won off discard, and when in east position). This way you can know what minimum hand to aim for to snipe first place, or to get to third place if your coming last. Just following these two should manage to get you up to R1700. The few games Ive played in 上級, Ive seen even R1800s feed into hands that they shouldnt. There are many other simple tips that I can give but it is difficult without an example. If you want more advice, send me a link to a game where you thought you still came 3rd or last. | ||
