>The rules of tanki waits
>When changing tanki waits, it's essential to check that it's not furiten in advance. Don't hesitate for too long.
>When you draw 1m or 9m, take a bit of time to notice it's furiten, and then discard it, the others may figure out that you're on a tanki.
>When other players know that you have a tanki, then they can push more tiles and counterattack more effectively. Tanki waits are a threat when the others don't know you have one, so them finding out turns it into a weak wait.
>It's the same as when someone has a hadaka tanki.
>Mahjong is a game with a lot of hidden information where conjectures about the state of the game are important. Try not to give your opponents additional information because of a lack of preparation on your part.
>Tanki on a dora middle tile
>The advantages of waiting on a tile like this are that your hand value increases, the dora can no longer be called, and you cannot deal in with the dora.
>The big disadvantage is that it's hard to win with it.
>As the other players will do their best to use convenient dora tiles like this, it's one of the most difficult tanki to win with.
>So leaving aside chiitoi, most hands will have Pei or an aka or two and as such can see mangan values or higher even without dora tanki. Don't be greedy in such a situation and go for a multi-sided wait or an honour tanki.
>As I said before: "Don't greed for dora, greed for good shapes."
>The exception to this is chiitoi, where ura can give you haneman or better. In that case you should immediately riichi.
