Well, some poor deity decided to smile on me for once.

Started a 3-person tenhou match, and each of the three hands I was dealt during that match was......damn nice, let's say. As in, 'I fuck it up and I should probably just quit mahjong forever' type of nice. Fortunately, I made use of my bout of good luck and managed to grab first place in that match.

First hand, I've got a series of winds and a decent batch of sou's with a pair of pins left as the odd ones out. Got rid of em', completed the hand decently with a tsumo. Could have waited for a better hand to riichi with, but I'm still working on my riichi trigger-finger (a bit too eager, I am). Needed a 5 or 8 sou to complete this one. Got the 5.

Second hand, more sou's, a few mans, and more winds. Made a set out of the mans and finished up the set of sou's I'd been dealt. Ronned a wind off of North to complete this one. Once again, I still need to learn a bit of patience when going for riichi. Needed either a 3 sou or a wind(I forget which) to complete this hand. Got it with the wind.

Third hand, I'm wondering where the asskicking I usually get has gone to, and my hand is once again mostly sou's and pins. Not so many winds this time though. And a pair of 9-man on the end. A bit of creative shuffling/swapping of tiles and I've got what I need for riichi. Went for riichi needing either a 3 or 6 sou to complete it. Not great, but better than needing a single tile.
Swapped a wind for a new tile and there's the 6 I needed. Tsumo.

For the tenhou players among us, or if you're just curious, the match review can be found here:

And with that, I'm off to play some more.

    Nice. Ever managed a yakuman on or sanbaiman on a live game? There was one time when the SOB managed a goddamn Kokushi on my face.

    Ah, no. Not managed to get one, myself. Did lose a whopping 18k at once thanks to someone ronning off me. Went from first to last in one go. Always a fun time, that. -__-

    EDIT: Correction, I did in fact get a sanbaiman out of that match. Didn't notice it at first, though. =/

    my best hand in a live tenhou match was a random match in zero-lobby.
    it was almost completely illegitmate yaku.
    It was a riichi, tsumo, haku-fanpai, dora 14. I kan'd the haku post riichi, and it became a dora from the kan. Then another player kan'd, and it became the dora again. Then I tsumo'd, and one of the kan-ura dora's made the haku kan another set of dora. I also had a red dora and a single normal dora. Shit was hilarious.
