NMJL Random Pulls 20240826
Mah jongg is the Chinese tile game that requires critical thinking, situational awareness, and social intelligence that took America by storm in the 1920s. One of the most challenging skills to master as an American Mah Jongg player is picking a hand. In this video, we’re going to do random pulls to demonstrate how to find the strength in a dealt hand because that’s where it all begins.

If you want to do these at home but don’t have a mah jongg set, I highly recommend the White Swan Mahjong Set from Gammon Village tinyurl.com/dej3nwzb

I am blown away by your analysis! Thank you!
@@mariontor8139 sincerely my pleasure 🤓
Great examples and explanations
Charleston question! If you do not need any tiles passed, should you just pass them on?
During the Charleston, focus on hand development and pass as defensively as possible with unneeded tiles. If you don't need tiles you received in a pass, pass them on but check to see if you can make changes to mitigate the risk.
Would you ever use 2 jokers in an exposure if there is a tile that you need?
Michele your confidence and ability to clearly and concisely instruct is truly awesome. I am so grateful that you are out here in the world😊
Thanks! pull 2: 3rd one under 13579 would need jokers but you have your 1bam pair.
Pull 1 why not Winds/Dragons with consecutive run
American mah jongg is a game of multiples - every hand on the card requires them. I play and teach to target multiples and keep tiles that can be used with them. In the case of Pull 1, the multiples are 3 dot and white dragons, so I let the 789 tiles go. Also, consecutive run hands in the Winds and Dragons category use Winds, and in Pull 1, there were no winds.
my comment was deleted ; (
@@slbren63 what was your comment?
That was so exciting! I have to turn the speed down to follow the game. Being a beginner I always gravitate towards runs and I love that you do the opposite to like numbers. Maybe someday with your help I’ll be able to get a mah jongg against the women I play with that have been playing over 40 years! Thank you for all your explanations. This was so fun❣️

Top right layout
Do you have a series on advanced strategies?
I surely do! Check out the content in grey lines in the matrix mahjlife.com/wiki/amj-s2-matrix-article-210/
Advanced strategies
Didn’t know you could call mahjong with an E in NEWS. I thought those were all singles
@@barbaralevine9048 You can claim a discard to complete a pair or a block of singles (e.g., 112, 2024, NEWS) if you are ready to win 🤓
Can you use 2 joker for 3 of kind
enlarge please
nice
pull three. fun to try the 3, 4 7 crack addition hand
In this video, you mention "not passing like numbers or pairs". Aren't they the same thing? Or do you mean, for example, "like numbers" would be 3 or 4 of a kind as opposed to a pair of something? (I'm relatively new player and am trying to learn and improve my knowledge!) Thanks!
Hi. Thanks for the video. I'm considering buying my very first physical mahjong set. I'd most likely be playing solo. Is it worth buying a real set to do this?
What should happen, if the minimum is 3 fan and a person said Mahjong, but it is less than 3 fan? Thank you 🥰
If a player declares mahjong and does not meet the minimum requirement, the win is not honored and they stop playing. The game continues with the other three players.
enjoyed your take and prefer the last method
I am a new player. I have a 2024 card so I am unable to follow because you're using a much older card. If I subscribe or join will I get more current instructions?
I use a timeless mock American mah jongg card in any video that contains the word “lesson.” For videos using the current card, visit mahjlife.com/wiki/direct-links-to-nmjl-lessons-on-youtube-article-192/ for recorded skill builders and mahjlife.com/wiki/amj-s2-matrix-article-210/ for livestreams.
Your directions are clear and you are easy to follow for this newbie. Thank you. What are the strips used for which you mentioned for sale on Amazon.
Please send me the info on the 30 day trial.
I'm still learning and paid for the monthly subscription. Do I need to sign in each time I view your videos? Karen
Karen, hi I am Mona, welcome, a member too, no you do not have to sign in each time just remember to hit the thumbs up icon, it helps Michele.
At 52.47, Joe Curtis was ready to win with a 6 Bam. You said he didn’t have a hand. Four flowers, four 4 Dots, four 6 Bam, and 2 & 4 Craks is the evens multiplication hand on the left.
Thank you for the videos, they are very informative and clear. The link to the reference is broken. Is there another way to access it. Thanks again.
mahjlife.com/wiki/mahjong-competition-rules-article-167/
@@MAHJLIFE Thank you so much.
Why declare one Manning and not wait for second to declare?
What do you mean by “joker bait”?
My mahjong set has seasons, too. How do those play into the game?
@@maryannh3317 All mahjong sets come with Flower tiles. There are two sets of Flowers, Seasons (1 SUM, 2 SPR, 3 AUT, 4 WIN) and Flowers (1 PLUMB, 2 ORCHID, 3 CHRYS, 4 BAMBOO). For Asian styles, the Flowers are bonus tiles and are not part of the 14-tile hand. If a player has a Flower and it is the same number as their seat for any given hand (1 EAST, 2 SOUTH, 3 WEST, 4 NORTH), they will get additional points if they win. For American mah jongg, the Seasons and Flowers together are called "Flowers". The numbers and letters on the Flowers do not matter. If a hand calls for a Flower, indicated by an F, any Flower tile will do. Many times, sets will come with extra Flowers, Jokers, and blank tiles. Just be sure that you use only 8 Flowers and 8 Jokers. mahjlife.com/wiki/handling-flowers-article-12/
@@MAHJLIFE thank you!
Excellent Instruction! Love it❤
Have a friend trying to learn and shared with her. Picking a hand is the hardest thing for beginners. Thanks!!
Deflection
Why did you let three green dragos go?
38:45 There was potential for Quint #4 using the pung of green dragons, but it was a long shot because I had only one flower, one joker, and little multiples with number tiles. So, I gave up the pung of green dragons because I was focused on a hand with no gaps and two pair, Consective Run #3-1.
Interesting, but not really helpful yet. More aspirational. I'm at the beginner stage where I am desperately trying to figure out my own hand much less anyone else's. .
What did you say to hit to get notified when you wil be on?
The little gray bell - then click ALL for notifications :)
I like the livestreaming every weekday. I dont think it gets boring to watch. I could watch mah jongg 24/7 if I had the time 😂 And I think forcing to fill out the card is a fun idea!
The hint squares keep hiding the tiles when you are moving them to select. I have to keep backing up to see what's going on behind those "tiles".
Hi Marie. I'm confused about what you are having trouble seeing. Can you rephrase, please?
Hello Michele, could you please send me the information about the game on line. I’m a very happy follower of your channel.
I’m happy to hear that you are interested in playing at Mahjong Time. Please visit my website for details about the 30-day VIP trial and how to get started. mahjlife.com/mahjong-time
If you need 3 flowers can you use knocked to make 3
If "knocked" means jokers, yes. No matter the symbol tile, you can use jokers in any block of three or more identical tiles (e.g., pung, kong).
Can you use knocked for fflowers
If "knocked" means jokers, yes. No matter the symbol tile, you can use jokers in any block of three or more identical tiles (e.g., pung, kong).
CORRECTION: 10:46 Little Four Winds and Big Four Winds are limited hands per Mahjong Wikidot variations 1 and 2 mahjong.wikidot.com/rules:hong-kong-old-style-scoring.
What did you call the four winds "set?"
@@Pamgarrison-vu1ol in some hands, the winds spell NEWS.
Pull 3 - I saw lots of evens. why didn't you pick an even hand? Thanks!
