>---: Later you draw 5s for an iipeikou dama, and then Haku comes out.
>Owata: I call pon and drop 3s.
>---: Even though you finally got a closed tenpai and it kills your iipeikou?
>Owata: It may be closed tenpai, but the wait isn't exactly good. Before calling it's a Hatsu iipeikou dora 1 hand worth 6400, after calling it's Haku Hatsu dora 1 for 5200. And also the number of winning tiles almost doubles, so this is clearly better. This is exactly what I talk about in the chapter about calling to improve shape. Going for easier wins also stops opponents from gaining points, and I believe this has a big effect on EV.
>---: Why cut 3s and not 5s?
>Owata: The 25s wait is closer to the edge and so it's easier for it to come out. It also gives me the chance to win on aka.
Skipped screenshot of Owata getting ron on kamicha's 2s discard here, for a total gain of 5200+1000+200=6400 points.
