You Can't Win In Riichi Mahjong Unless Your Soul Succumbs To Evil [Mahjong Soul]

Added: 2026-05-26

[00:00:00]HEY EVERYBODY, WELCOME BACK TO MA JANG SOUL. FOLKS, my name is Yang. I HOPE YOU'RE HAVING A GOOD DAY WHEREVER YOU ARE, FOLKS. It's a beautiful day to be playing Maang. Now, I'm gonna start this video off with a little question really quickly. Hey, am I a piece of fruit that you're running under the water of your KITCHEN SINK BECAUSE I'M WASHED. I'M SO WASHED. LOOK AT THIS MATCHY. I'M GIGA FREAKING WASHED. We're going back into the Jade Room today. As we load into the Jade Room, let me just say this. If you've been enjoying the Jeang lately, number one, that makes you a sadist.

[00:00:30]Number two, make sure to subscribe. I got new videos every single day. You can also leave a like and a comment if you're feeling particularly generous as it helps out me and the channel such a great deal. It brings us to our featured comment of the day. Juliet writes, "Very good video. You sung banger like always.

[00:00:43]I do think you meant glossery, not appendix, though." You're absolutely right. They're both at the end of books, but the glossery is the one that explains the words. Appendices contain additional/nonessential information. Keep up the good work, King. You're absolutely right. There was an entire I want to say three minute, but knowing me, it was probably 13 minute tirade that I went on where I literally just forgot the word for glossery at the back of a book that helps define like useful terms and stuff and and so I appreciate it. You want to know what the most humiliating part about all this though? I'm literally an English major. I'm literally an English major and I forgot like a fundamental thing about books. Yo, that was my whole degree. Folks, thank you so much for the for the kind comment. I SINCERELY APPRECIATE IT. I'M PAWNING. I'M PAWNING.

[00:01:28]YOU CAN'T STOP ME from pawning. I've lost it. I've lost it. Before we get too far into the video, I also want to give a quick shout out to all the patrons.

Um, and honestly, it's the best way to support me. They give me the biggest slice of the pie there. Uh, it allows me to keep doing what I'm doing. Thank you to every single person that's joining me on the Patreon. I sincerely appreciate it. With that, let's get into today's game. I'm one tile away from Tempie. I'll tell you the nut draw right now. Nut draw right now is a six of bamboo, right? Then in uh number one, we can be in Tempai.

[00:02:10]Well, you're going to make me I'm going to instead of waiting for the five of bamboozlers, I'm going to wait for a much less conspicuous two of characters.

[00:02:17]would still love to draw into a six or a nine of six or a nine of bamboo or characters, right? That that would allow us to instead of being single tile York in it for a measly two of characters to wait for a six or a nine so that we can get our um winning tile that way. Oh my god, it actually happened huge. I can't believe it. You talk about so much stuff in reaching majong and then it literally never happens. But it actually happened this time, folks. Oh, we're probably into my I don't know what would convince me to switch. No, it's the Dora.

[00:02:50]This is HALF OUTSIDE HAND AS WELL. Green dragon, Dora, Dora, half outside. This is 8,000 points. Are you freaking Yorking my chain right now, dude? This is so good. Do I expect anyone else to cut the Dora? No. Everybody else probably actually knows how to play Reaching M. It's only me that has lost sight of myself, my values, my core beliefs, my ethics, my my strategy as I've been playing in the Jade Room recently.

[00:03:14]Right lord with the reachi and I hang on just I don't think I've seen that skin a lot. I'm just going to make sure I have the sensor up and ready just just in case. You know what I mean? Ryord did call reachi. I feel you. I earnestly feel you on that one. I have an I have a ready hand. I have a temp by hand that's worth 8,000 points. I don't know if I can fold this one. Glad to see an eight of characters, right? That's a very easy to title throw. Guaranteed safe for Right Lord. As we like to say it in the business, it's Gambuchu Greg to Right Lord. And I and I very much like that myself. Do I expect anybody else to cut the door? No. Cuz I don't expect anybody else to be nuts. I don't expect anybody else. You want to hear something? I don't expect anybody else to have to make any difficult decisions except for yours truly.

[00:03:55]Okay. Free one Dora, one Oradora as well. That's fine. Definitely fine.

[00:04:01]three Han Marty, but a lot of mini points in the dealer seat. I mean, that goes extremely extremely hard for Riot Lord. It's okay. We definitely wanted to win that hand, right? Had a had a great opportunity for about I don't know two to three minutes where we could have uh flown high with the Eagles, but instead we're down here with the worms and the rats. That's okay. It's genuinely okay.

[00:04:20]Yung, how are you doing outside of the game today? Thank you so much for asking. Appreciate you asking. First of all, I got to clear some things up. You Why are you playing as a non-Joker character? Weren't you playing as the Joker character? because you're in the middle of of a loss streak. Here's the thing. I changed my character because I realized, hey, I'm streaming later tonight. I don't want to let the entire stream audience know that for the next few videos, it's just L's upon L's upon L's. What am I freaking uh directions in a very confusing town? Okay, that's it's like you have to take a lot of left turns. I don't know if MC Asher designed Google Maps directions. Okay, that's a little bit better. It's a little bit better. We're going to get to We're You know what? We're going to One day we're going to get to a solid three out of five joke. And And you're going to want to You're going to want to be subscribed for that one, folks. You're absolutely going to want to be subscribed. 789 mixed triple sequence. I hate to say it.

[00:05:13]It is a real possibility. I mean, Reachi Pinfu Red Five Dora. I mean, you got you're speaking my language. That that's calling my name right now. Okay. Um that would also just be really good. So, I I switched my character as to not give away the fact that I am still I bought a time share in the shadow ro and I'm spending not only my summers but my autumns there apparently and that's okay. I changed some of my decorations as well. We gone back to the uh French baguette rig stick. Why? Cuz I need something folks. I need something in these trying times. I genuinely need something just to keep me sane. Do I start cheating here? A tribe called Quest. Can I cheat that? Um I I don't know. If I draw into a nine of characters for the remaining seven of bamboo and vice versa, I just don't want to open up my hand willy-nilly for the most antsy, nonsensical 17 million specific tiles away from tempai situation you've ever seen. Okay. And there it is. And there it earnestly is huge. Now I would she for seven of uh bamboo but I'm telling you oh my god if there is a god and if they hate right lord might we just draw into the seven of bamboo ourselves I wouldn't even call reachi we have pinfu mixed triple sequence dora red five 8,000 points without calling reachi I know we could call reachi because it is funny but I don't know if we want to do that I think we want to catch someone playing on their second monitor I think we want to catch someone unaware if it's at all possible As we've seen uh in yesterday's video, sometimes people don't realize that they need to be folding, right? If you if you call Reachi, you're going to you're going to make everyone else stop, drop, and roll. Don't deal in. Don't deal in.

[00:06:50]Yes. You're going to make everyone else stop, drop, and roll. Is my hand worth going for? Is my hand worth fighting for? Uh but if you if you don't call Rachi, someone's like, "Oh, my hand is pretty decent. All simple red five, you know." And then they have the worst day of their life as we did last time. Oh my god.

[00:07:08]>> It's a cool skin. It's a cool skin.

[00:07:11]Don't get me wrong. It's all simple red five as we, you know, uh, kind of were mocking moments ago. Sarah Paladin is a really It's a good name. I don't know if it's a reference to Sarah Palin, but uh, let's just say I can see Mongan from my house. Okay, that is a uh, that is a Sarah Palin SNL joke. Wow. Okay. I mean, we're we've come a long way. That might be a three out of five. That honestly might be a three out of five. How am I doing outside of the game? Thank you so much for asking. Folks, I'm never talking to another human being again.

[00:07:40]Why? What do I mean by that? Thank you so much for asking. Nobody ever freaking asks.

[00:07:45]My penchant for social humiliation is what does pens mean? My appetite for my my propensity for uh getting myself into getting myself into situations where I am socially humiliated is higher than usual. What happened? I'm trying to make more friends in the improv comedy scene.

[00:08:03]So, I was like I was trying to be like send some messages, do some networking like, "Hey, I you know, um if you're looking for for a team to perform here and there, we're available, etc., etc." I was hoping to do that. And then I sent an introductory DM to someone. And this is how you know I don't like to use Instagram and I don't I'm not often in like sliding into DMs. I'm reaching. I'm No, I'm not. I'm not reaching. This is so bad. This is unironically so effing bad right now. This is so bad. Let me pawn the white dragons, please. Cuz otherwise it's just reachy red five only. And I don't get out of bed for that. I'm sorry. I'm high maintenance. I don't get out of bed. Where is your half flush? It's non-existent, folks. It's genuinely non-existent. If we pawn the white dragon right now, I cut one of characters. We can win off of the six or the seven of characters. Six. Seven.

[00:08:56]Oh.

[00:08:57]Oh.

[00:08:59]Oh. I must. Oh, I must. Zero copies of the eight characters remaining. But who gives a freick? Okay. Two copies of the white dragon remaining. That is a career ruining demon. Might I pray that it finds right lord? Might I pray that it finds a cross lord? And if we happen to win off of a weirdo5 of characters discard, sure thing. I'm not going to say no to that. But you're telling me that everyone's playing the most defensive ball you've ever seen? No one's even willing to dip their toes in the water with a white dragon discard into a inconspicuous French baguette.

[00:09:40]Reachy. I was sending an introductory DM and I was like, "Hey, glad to meet you at the show if if you want like um I'm available for X, Y, and Z. Uh nice to meet you." And then and then at the end of the uh at the end of the message, I sent an emoji. Okay, Tim Robinson voice.

[00:09:56]We sent each other emojis. I sent an emoji that was the party popper emoji.

[00:10:01]I'm gonna Come on. This is such a good reach. There's no way this reach was wrong. There's no way. I play this s like a monster. E2 repeat one. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god.

[00:10:09]Okay. Okay. Okay. Is this E2 repeat one even? No. I think this is just east two raw. No, this might be repeat. I don't I don't know. I don't know anymore. I don't know anymore. East two white dragon reachi. Surely correct, right?

[00:10:22]Like I I know I'm coming in here a little bit biased and I I I hope I don't have egg on my face, but if if I'm wrong here, then okay, I'm giga wrong. I'm really really wrong. This is Reachi, White Dragon, Red Five, Dora. It's Mongon if I win off of the White Dragon, which by the way is what I'm aiming to win off of. I call Reichi to bully other people. Not in a real emotional sense, but just to like, you know, oh, I don't know if I want to push this. White Dragon is an honor tile. Surely no one's farming me for their YouTube thumbnail.

[00:10:58]>> This is uneffing believable.

[00:11:01]That is unbelievable.

[00:11:04]>> I dealt in the three. You're not even That's unbelievable. The The luck here is like so bad. We we genuinely were absolved of that one because don't don't you even you're don't you it's a great emote. It's a great emote. Funny username, but I'm going to I'm going to I'm going to write you into Death Note.

[00:11:26]Oh my god. Oh my This is unreal, right?

[00:11:31]I'm not the like surely I'm not Am I in a hallucination? Am I on a a jury duty season 3 reaching Maong experiment? Like like what what the actual f is? White Dragon, you get out of here. you get out of here. How dare you show your face around these parts.

[00:11:48]So, I sent the party popper emoji. And then afterwards, I was like, "You song, you don't need to send a party popper emoji. That's a little like it's a little much." And then I was like, "Oh, I'll just edit my message. I'll just edit my message uh and take the party popper emoji out and and just do like an exclamation mark instead." I I don't know. It probably didn't matter, but I was like, "Oh, yeah. It's a like this is somehow somehow in my mind I was like, "This is less cringe if I if I don't use an emoji." So, here we go. And then I edited it. And as soon as I did, Instagram shows edited. And then I can click on the word edited. And I did not know this was real. And you can see the message edit history. And I I was I was I was ready to light myself on fire. I was like, uh I was already sweating. I immediately started sweating. I was like, "No, I can't have this. You don't understand. I can't have this." Okay.

[00:12:42]seeing that someone like if I were them and they saw me edit out an emoji it would straight to I don't know but you're not allowed to hang out with us anymore. You know what I mean? Like it like you're just not allowed to be here anymore. I'm sorry. You don't you don't get to that's it's it's just too much.

[00:13:02]Oh my god. I can't believe I actually made it into this joke of a hand, but it's actually really good. Oh my send it, dude. Send it. I don't expect anyone to cut the door right now, but like if there is if there is justice. Oh my god.

[00:13:14]If there is justice. If there is justice, that's un it's unbelievable.

[00:13:18]Unfing believable what just happened the last round. That that is truly outrageous what just happened. So I was like, "Oh, what do I do? What do I do?

[00:13:25]Can they see that they edited it?" And I don't really know the answer, but I deleted the message and then I sent it again without the uh party popper emoji uh and with just an exclamation mark.

[00:13:36]And then I have not checked my phone for the past 6 hours cuz I don't want to know anymore. I'm like I actually don't want to know. I actually don't want to know. I'm too scared. I'm honestly too scared. It's too scary to send DMs. I'm not doing it anymore. I'm never talking to another human being again. False. But I'm but but I'm I don't I don't I didn't enjoy this.

[00:13:56]All simples. Dora. Dora. Red five. Red five. If we went off of the Dora or if we went off of the red five of characters, it's a Haniman which would go boingo. There's one less lonely Dora out in the world. I could wait for a four of characters. I don't think so.

[00:14:12]Maybe that's a little bit better, but it's still three three tiles versus three tiles. I don't expect anyone to cut the door, but maybe a left floor lord has the worst day of their life.

[00:14:21]You never know. Like, we can never fold this hand. We're in last place and we have a mongon maybe Haniman chance if we uh yeah, if we get a red five or another door. So, so I can't I I got to pray for like a like a roughly 1% sumo chance. I want to say I I want to estimate that this is like roughly 1%. Oh, thank you.

[00:14:38]Thank you so much. Thank you so much.

[00:14:41]You took away one one two of my winning dolls and then Ron me. Ron the pants off of me. Thank you.

[00:14:49]But I'm scared that like it seems like all of this is probably okay cuz they didn't at no point was the message seen.

[00:14:58]The message was just sent. This all happened in the span of like a sweaty fiveminute period. It all happened so fast. and and I Oh my god, we would have won of the four. There's no way. There's east three. East three uh tempai with three of characters. Discard the door.

[00:15:16]You There's no reason for you to do that. And yet I wanted it. Oh, it's so stupid. It's so stupid in here. It's so stupid here. It's my turn as the dealer.

[00:15:25]We've come back from worse spots than this. I still have this this chance and another dealer seat opportunity coming up. I'm ready. I'm apparently ready to be hurt again because I have two Dora in my hand. 789 mixed triple sequence chance maybe. But do I just start Hua pawning on that thing?

[00:15:46]Sorry for the moan, but I got to speak my truth. Green dragon defo pawn. You know what I mean? We definitely pawn.

[00:15:54]Sorry if you can't keep up with the language, but we defo pawn on that one.

[00:15:57]Uh uh I still want to keep this four of characters in case we draw into a four five or something like that would be awesome cuz I don't want to have this stinky double-sided weight waiting on a tile that's very close to the Dora.

[00:16:15]Yepers. Extreme Yepers Infinity Home Edition. Okay. Pawn. I think I combined Avengers Infinity War and Extreme Makeover Home Edition. Don't even at me.

[00:16:24]This is 12,000 points on the dealer seat. It's a 12,000 point with a double-sided bank. Tell me this isn't Tell me this isn't everything. Like if there it please please please.

[00:16:33]You want me to bark for you? Whoa. Whoa.

[00:16:35]Whoa.

[00:16:37]I'll earnestly bark for you. Like please. I've lost so much lately. I've lost so much lately. And I'm not even talking about my social like standing with the party popper emojis and stuff, but I'm just like, oh my, oh just in maong, I'm begging you. I con, by the way, icon. I'm in dead last. I'm never folding this hand. I absolutely can. We could flip open 17 more Dora or something freaky, right? So, and I run from literally any I don't care. Thank you. Across. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. This is 12,000 points. Lord, tell me how to say no to this. I can't say no to this.

[00:17:17]11,700 11,600 gaming. Oops. Did I do that? Okay, we're so freaking back. It's not even funny. We could still lose this game at any moment, though. Oh, I should have cut the nine of circles first. I need to slow down. I need to slow down. This hand is a mongan potentially hane.

[00:17:37]Oh my god. I'm going to I'm going to scream. I'm going to I'm going to moan into the microphone. I'm going to moan into the microphone. Oh, you sick freaks. You loved me barking, didn't you? You loved it when I barked. I'm I'm literally talking out loud in my own room right now, but I know they were I know they were listening.

[00:17:54]I'm just scared cuz I don't think any of those messages messages were seen. But if they had notifications on, which let's be honest, who doesn't in this in today's economy? You know what I mean?

[00:18:03]If they had notifications on, then what if all those notifications came up? And I don't know if someone gets a notification when somebody that you're talking to edits a message.

[00:18:13]You know what I mean?

[00:18:16]Okay, I'm gaming so effing hard right now. Um, I'm gaming beyond your wildest comprehension. I'm one tile away from Tempe for Sewin, prevalent win, red five, Dora. Dora, like at the at the least, but probably at the most as well.

[00:18:32]Do I ever call Reachi on that thing? I I don't even think I call Con here. I'm not I'm not even joking. I send it back to the kitchen. I honestly send it back to the kitchen. I I honestly sent it back. East East East four repeat three repeat one. No con. Throw it away. I think that's right. I honestly think that that's right. No one else has opened up their hand. What am I going to con? And then someone else has even more incentive to reach you on that thing.

[00:18:56]HOG DO A NO. I pawn and I am in tempai and nobody has a reason to play safe or to fold or to even more so call reachi if they're a little hesitant. Oh, should I? Shouldn't I? Two fives are even freaking visible. What's the likelihood that someone's waiting with a four five in there? Oh, another four perhaps.

[00:19:20]>> It's not even like I'm not even happy.

[00:19:24]I'm literally not even I'm literally not even happy. I'm literally not even happy right now. I know I'm smiling, but like this is so overdue. It's not even funny. Like this is you can't treat a human being THIS POORLY.

[00:19:41]OKAY.

[00:19:43]Um check please. Clean up on Isisle bamboo.

[00:19:48]Uhoh. He's a 10 but he's lame.

[00:19:51]Green dragon, red dragon half flush.

[00:19:53]Mong gone. It's so good. It's so good.

[00:19:57]White dragon we can also kind of accept.

[00:19:59]Uh I mean it's equivalent to I mean it's better than an east wind or a west wind right now. It should be painfully obvious what I'm going for, right? With especially with my first few discards.

[00:20:09]The good news about this in is that we could always discard, you know, we could always break up a whole bunch of our honor tiles in case things get a little spicy, a little dicey. Okay, one tile away from Tempai. Do I ever omega greed 9,000 with it? Do I ever Omega greed 9,000, which is um I mean it's either the Yak going for the Yakimon or going for all triplets. I Oh my god. Right.

[00:20:32]Are you nuts? Are you nuts? I mean, it's the white dragon and it's the door. They must have something that's worth going for. I'm going to get the westwind here.

[00:20:42]If you give me the chance to single tile York on the white dragon, I will end your entire career. I will end your entire career. Like, it's so funny. It's especially funny now if we draw into the white dragon. But I'll tell you something right now. I don't want to break your heart. I I don't want to make any false promises. If I draw now, it's impossible for me to get big three dragons. If I draw to the white dragon and then someone cuts northwind, I would have runed on the northwind. It's uh green dragon, red dragon, uh half flush, two dora, three little dragons, like what else? 55 burgers, 55 fries. You know what I mean? That's good enough for me. Right lord calls the reachi. So our our suspicions were correct. They did have something that was worth uh fighting for in this hand. I'm in 10 for a literal effing mongun. Bone appetite, right, Lord? Genuinely bone appetite.

[00:21:29]You know how bad my flow has been lately? Good. Good luck. Genuinely good luck. Genuinely good luck. It's not like I can fold. If the southwind deals on, that's pretty diabolical. Seven of circles. Okay, the lord is granting me a little bit of safe passage here in East four. I'm not going to turn on my nose at that. So, people should know that they shouldn't discard bamboo suit tiles, right? It's it's obviously omega spicy for yours truly.

[00:21:53]And it seems I mean there's not a lot of bamboo that's been discarded in general, so you definitely don't want to risk throwing like a red five or something random into right lords reach. So, I don't think our our likelihood of getting the tile that we need is very high, but like maybe someone has a really good hand and they think, well, it's a terminal tile. It's the nine of bamboo. How much could it cost? $10. How much could this How much could this deal in possibly lead to? 10 10 points. And that's when we kill him. It's when we crush him. Okay.

[00:22:24]So, I don't know. Yeah, I I'll I'll keep you updated if I've been socially exiled. A crossord is going to sneak this one uh across the finish line.

[00:22:31]That's fair. It's absolutely fair. Pure double sequence, all simples. I might have even called Reachi on that. They know that I couldn't fold. They know that Right Lord couldn't fold. It's a It's a dicey situation. All right, folks. This I mean, we got to protect this lead. Easier. Way easier said than done. So much easier said than done.

[00:22:50]You What else is going on in your life?

[00:22:52]I went to Trader Joe's. They're not going to socially exile me there. And I got a new dialogue option at Trader Joe's cuz I usually say, "Oh, it's not too busy in here." Knowing that it usually isn't that busy um when I go to Trader Joe's and then that'll usually kill like 30 seconds of the interaction.

[00:23:13]I got to be I got to learn to just coast. You know what I mean? I got to learn to like take it easy. Take it take it a tiny bit easy in social situations.

[00:23:20]Pure strain maybe, right? We draw into a six of circles. I'll happily cheat into a nine of circles. vice versa. Although, now that I'm looking at it, like it's not that likely that we get a nine of circles. So, this this seven of uh the 78 shape doesn't look that good. Un I mean, hey, that's not that bad either.

[00:23:37]It's still freaky. Our our nut draw beyond a shadow of a doubt right now is nine of circles, but even after that, I'm like, how are we going to how are we going to actually win with this hand?

[00:23:47]Okay, that's not that bad. And that's not my name. Um I'm one tile away from Tempai right now. It's reachi red five.

[00:23:55]Nothing nothing. But I'm okay with it.

[00:23:57]Whether we end on this uh 47 weight in the bamboo suit or this 36 weight in the circle suit, I'm pretty happy. I'm genu I'm genuinely pretty happy. Reachi red five with a double-sided weight. Nothing to write home about, but we get to end right lord's dealer seat. Hopefully, we get to at least try to end right lord's dealer seat. And um it's not it's not a bad hand uh whatsoever. Could always flip an ordora as well. New dialogue option just dropped. I'm buying these like fig Newton's like legally distinct Trader Joe's branded Fig Newton. I have to reach you otherwise my hand isn't valid. Here we go. I mean, this is like less than a 6% chance that we sumo, but those are good odds. Those are slightly less than 6% on any given turn, provided that all these tiles are in the wall.

[00:24:38]I'm okay with those odds. I'm genuinely okay with those odds. Uh me when I've been a fan of even numbers for my entire life, but I'm learning to be more tolerant. What just happened?

[00:24:49]What the actual f just happened here.

[00:24:51]What the Why are we Why are we all picking on a crossler? Number one, they have the funniest name. Number two. Oh, well, I don't know if they have the funniest name. I think it's like I if that is a reference to Sarah Palin, Rafflecopter Lau, you know what I mean?

[00:25:05]If that is also just like a thing that you do, if your name is Sarah and you are a paladin, that's cool as hell. I'm jealous. Is your D and D group accepting new members? Like, like, you know what I mean? Like, I'm not I'm not I'm not knocking that whatsoever.

[00:25:18]But it did lead to I can see Mong gun from my house and so I want to just thank you for your for your sacrifice uh to the to the YouTube commentary. Sure.

[00:25:26]I mean I don't know what this right but we have two door and I'm ready to be heard again. Like maybe all simples if I see like a red five of circles that would be awesome. Four of characters.

[00:25:36]That would also be awesome. Vivian Westwind I guess it's our Seawwind.

[00:25:41]New dialogue options. I'm buying these fig snacks at Trader Joe's. They're just like fig newtons. Why am I buying them?

[00:25:46]I don't know. I I don't think that they're healthy at all. They're they're way too sweet to be healthy. They taste like candy. I ate one of them and then I was eating like like like blackberries after and the blackberries tasted like volcanic ash because because of the fig newtons. The figton were so sweet. I'm like what's the point? But I I've brainwashed myself into thinking that they're healthy and so I'll buy them.

[00:26:06]Not only that, if you see me at Trader Joe's, um, it's like that copy pasta where it's like, "Oh," and I said, "Sorry to bother you, son." And you sung was like, "Oh, like you're doing right now." Here's the thing. If I'm locked in at Trader Joe's, you'll know because I'm literally turning over every single snack to see to see if it contains milk. Cuz I'm not I'm I'm not about to take a lactate or a milky or whatever whatever lactose supplement that you that you that you support. I'm not about to do that. Hang on. I'm one tile away from Tempai.

[00:26:37]Please draw me into two of circles followed by I mean please draw me into five of circles followed by five of circles. And then do I call Rachi? I'm in a luxurious position where I do not need to call Rachi. I have Pinfu Dora Dora. Pure double sequence chance. Sumo goes oingo boingo with it. I'm going to keep a seven of circles cuz I'm the most scared of the dealer right now. You've already opened up your hand. You must have something else poging up. And then right lord calls reichi and and zenaia is meii. Uncommon is stonekeeper. Danny devito is guangi.

[00:27:09]Nine of circles seems okay. You're not waiting with a 7 eight. How do I feel about this? Seven of circles. I don't know. I don't feel great about it. If I draw into a five of circles, it's really tempting to just slam though. I don't think I should. I think I should be playing really really defensively right now. But I just I I just want to let you know that I am thinking about it. That I am I've still got a little bit of that demonic energy within me.

[00:27:34]Seven of circles being safe is hilarious. Okay, that's awesome. Seven and eight of circles. Okay, well, is there ever a world where I cut like three of circles?

[00:27:44]Yeah, this isn't terrible. This is technically a perfect one away, right?

[00:27:48]Oh, we're a little bit in jail. What if we end up waiting for a six or a nine?

[00:27:52]It's not great. Um but but now we're like one tile away from Tempai. Any tile does it. This tile does end us in for a 10. How many threes are visible? Three threes are visible. No, four threes are visible. And you're not waiting with a And the seven is safe. So you're not waiting with a I think this is fine. So why is this fine? They're not waiting with a 5 six because the seven passed and they're not waiting with a 2 three.

[00:28:15]We see all all the copies of the three.

[00:28:18]So I'm willing to risk it a little bit here. It stinks that we're in furan, but we could still sumo.

[00:28:25]Gross. Gross. And if anyone sees that it's sumo furan, like expect the emotes to come out because that's that this is just awful. This is this is awful. This is awful. Why? Why are that that I mean I don't want I I want to win, but this feels wrong. I want to win the old-fashioned way. Reachi pinfu, not this stupid furton. Oh, God doesn't exist kind of meandering hand. I want to believe that good play yields good results. I want to believe that this rank means something. Maybe that was my first mistake. It's getting a little somber.

[00:29:10]So anyway, the new dialogue option was like, uh, but hey, I I can't remember. I was like, "Oh, yeah, these are pretty good, but I'm also like keenly aware of what has dairy and what doesn't have dairy in in this uh like in in the snacks." And they were like, "Totally, you tell me that isn't the whole anecdote." I don't know what you want me to say. I don't know what you want me to say. That is the whole anecdote. It's just if you if you need to kill another 30 seconds. Oh my god. Oh my god.

[00:29:42]What awful discards. were truly awful discards. I don't I think that that was even a correct discard. I I don't even like I don't know what you want me to tell you. Like these these are these are right, man. Like oh my god. Oh my 79 mixed triple sequence. Maybe maybe if I draw into a seven of bamboo I think we cut six of bamboo unironically.

[00:30:07]And then I would she into an eight of circles. Would I into a native circles?

[00:30:10]No, I don't think so. I don't think I would cheat into a seven of bamboo earlier either. I would I only cheat to confirm Sunshoku. But you doesn't that take a lot more time? Yep. Absolutely.

[00:30:20]But but if you start cheating willy-nilly and then someone calls Reachi, you're going to really regret the decisions that you've made.

[00:30:27]Yo, speaking of getting a little somber, this is this is sincere. Okay, we're 31 minutes into the video. All the haters have stopped watching. Okay, awesome. Or the haters are maybe asleep right now, in which case you must not hate me that much to to have me on while you're falling asleep. Um, like a few days ago, I just got this like I just got this sad feeling in the pit of my stomach that was like um this like just like like cold sadness. And I'm not saying like, "Oh, you sang as God's Strongest Soldier. Streaming is harder than being a teacher." None of that. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. It was just like a very familiar like, "Oh, I'm really sad. I can't like shake the sadness out." But for the first time ever in my life, I was like, uh, because usually I'd be like, well, we got to watch a we got to watch a YouTube video. We got to go see a movie. We got to distract ourselves somehow. Go, go, go, go, go, go, go. You know, hit the ground running. Oh, no. There's a dealer seat three. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

[00:31:26]Should I have folded here? I I don't know. My hand wasn't even that good.

[00:31:30]Well, we were like 12 discards in. I don't know. I don't know if we should have folded there, honestly. And this hand a little bit of a stinker as well.

[00:31:36]Southwind is the only tile that would make me consider this hand even remotely playable. That's weird. I think Right Lord's going to go for a flush of some kind. I don't I don't know in what necessarily, but you know, very sus discard from our good friend Right Lord.

[00:31:51]Usually I'd be like, "Oh, we well this is unacceptable." Like it's it's not cool to to to you know, just feel whatever it is you're feeling. We got to distract ourselves. And then for the first time in my life, it was like you son you're probably just going to be depressed for a little bit. And that's okay. That's genuinely okay. nothing you can do about it. Um, except like try to take care of yourself. I'm I'm not gonna say like we're just gonna roll over and and you know uh eat hot chip for forever like don't you know has its moments for sure. Definitely has its moments but it was just like you I think I think I think you probably just go through phases and it's just phasing in again and all you can literally do is give yourself a little bit of compassion especially as you're losing in reach.

[00:32:32]Luckily, like it's not it's not because of Richi Maj. I can I can tell you that much. Like I I don't don't get me wrong. I am upset and I think that God is challenging me in ways that shouldn't be. You know what I mean? Like are wrong maybe even. Um you ever get so mad at reaching that you say I think the ways in which God is challenging me are wrong? Cuz I firmly believe that. I firmly believe that. Uh, left lord cuts the door. That's fine, right? We We can't use the door anyway.

[00:33:05]I'm glad that nobody pressed pawn. Uh, what the f is everyone going for? This is not This is half flush in the bamboo suit. Maybe this is all simples or half flush in the circle suit. Maybe this I don't even know what you're doing. Maybe this is all just like bad tile efficiency. Like maybe these are all just bad discards. Have we considered that? Ryord with the reachi. And now I'm like, why did I ever play this hand?

[00:33:29]Unironically, why did Ank ever play this hand? Like with any modicum of sincerity, why why would I ever do that? Cutting uh three of characters cuz they're not waiting with a four or five. And I don't think that they're waiting with a one two. It would be really weird if they were. And all three copies of the two of characters are visible. So I don't think that they're doing it. One of circle's a little bit spicy. It is a terminal tile.

[00:33:49]Okay. A crossord manages to to live another day. I I I'll follow suit. Maybe we can sneak into a little bit of a like a random tihei. I'm to penguin of doom.

[00:33:59]Raffle copter lamel. We can maybe get into a random No, I'm not cutting green dragon. You can go freick yourself. All simples tempai when it's all said and done. Probably not going to happen as I'm keeping this green dragon ride or die until the end of time. Level lord, by the way, the distinct lack of punishment is astounding. I when your disciplinarian isn't doing a good job.

[00:34:19]The just the lack of punishment is genuinely genuinely astounding.

[00:34:24]Genuinely astounding. You're cutting the most valuable tiles I've ever seen and Right Lord just can't manage to win. If you're going to sumo, yes, I'm glad this is a big hand because at least someone else is getting dealer penalty for once.

[00:34:38]This is Mong gun.

[00:34:40]>> It just looks to be Mongan. Reachi sumo pinfu two red fives. Mong gun.

[00:34:44]>> Fair enough. Absolutely fair enough.

[00:34:46]Left lord pays out 4k. I pay out 2k.

[00:34:49]Good. Uh now what do we need? We need to win with a one hot hand or we just need to sail into the sunset without making too too many enemies.

[00:34:57]It's it's freaky. Like I I don't know.

[00:35:00]We can play this hand a little bit sincerely. I kind of just want to go for seven pairs because then at least we have a bunch of tiles with which we can fold. I really just don't want to lose here. And so I I don't want to tiptoe too much into, you know, an aggressive position when I when that might not be what I really want. I'm begging the like I'm begging them to give me one more um to give me one more pair, right? Four pairs. Suddenly uh suddenly Seymour thinks that going for Cheeto isn't that terrible of an idea. Okay, huge. I'm going to try to cut nine of bamboo. Nine of Bamboo is usually a great tile to to wait for if you're going OPA 7 pair style. Uh, but in this case, it's not really that good. People are going to want to keep their sevens and eights and their wits about them. So, uh, they can accept the six or the nine. I don't really want to keep a tile that's close to the door. One of bamboo. Now, there's a tile that's a little nasty with it.

[00:35:54]There's a tile that can get a little nasty with it. I guess if I don't know.

[00:36:00]Oh, I'm playing this so badly. I'm playing this so badly. Look at Look at my hand. Like, if someone calls Richi now, what the f do I do? I should be sacrificing a little bit of efficiency for safety and I can't cuz I'm greedy. I can't cuz I'm too dumb. I'm young, dumb, and full of crumbs. I'm I'm so greedy.

[00:36:20]You buy any other good snacks? I got these like white truffle chips from Trader Joe's. I don't think they're like amazing, but they're pretty good.

[00:36:28]They're honestly pretty good. I think I think the I'm cutting the six of characters as well. If you're gonna give me a safe title, I actually am going to hang on tight to this one. I don't care if it's once discarded. It's the same odds as the six of characters in that sense, right? But I would even maybe keep this over a six of circles just because it's like safety. You know what I mean? What what a what a glowing bastion of safety this is. Sure. Suji trap for the three of circles. You saying you could have had twice per double sequence? Get I'm sorry to be rude, but get that get that nonsense out of here. Absolutely not.

[00:37:01]Don't trying to thread two needles at the same time. No. left lord with the reachi. I'm really glad I have the white dragon out. If that had dealt in, I would have deleted this video. You wouldn't have seen this video if that tile had dealt in. Just kidding. You definitely would have, but like it would have sucked. It would have been really, really sad. Now, what do I have? I suppose we see three copies of the two of circles. So, I can cut one of circles.

[00:37:26]There's nothing in my hand that's that much safer. I'm one tile away from tempai, but I might cut I might cut one of characters before I go for anything here. It's a little spooky. What am I hoping that they win with? Literally just reachi pinfu. Nothing nothing. If that can be the case, that would be awesome.

[00:37:44]Well, they're not waiting with a four five. And I don't think that they're waiting with a one-two. The likelihood of that seems pretty low. I'm still one tile away from tempai. Believing in the suji gods, even though I definitely should not be. A crossard. The good news about this is that you can't a crossard can't really fold either. Neither can I.

[00:38:01]Oh man.

[00:38:04]Well, if I deal into a mong gun, I deal into a mong gun. Them's the brakes. Will it be harrowing? Yeah, but we got to do it.

[00:38:14]Thank god. I I I was putting on a brave face, but I would have I would have smashed my keyboard. I would have had like an epic gamer crash out minus the racism, but like I I like I would I might still have that crash out, folks.

[00:38:27]I might still What? What the actual f?

[00:38:30]I'm going to cut three of characters cuz suji, but we would love to see a safe tile for once on my gosh dang life. How is the two of characters looking? It's not terrible. White dragon, I could kiss you on the mouth. Uh, you're not waiting with a You're not waiting. Are you waiting with a three four? You still could be two copies of the three of characters visible. That's hardly anything. Eight of bamboo. I could also kiss you on the mouth, but like we had a lot of turns in there where we just straight up were not drawing any safe tiles. So, this is a welcome addition. I think I should have played this way differently with this type of jank starting hand. I think I just should have been folding at the start from the start. Call me Levy the way I should have been folding from the start.

[00:39:09]South four starting fold like I don't know. I'm into that. Don't deal into a mongan. Please be small hand reachi red five. Nothing nothing huge. Huge. Had they sumoed it would have maybe been enough to kill me. Oh my god. Thank god.

[00:39:25]Genuinely, thank God. Thank God. Not even not even joy. Not even joy. Just relief. No, it's a little bit of joy.

[00:39:31]It's a little bit of joy.

[00:39:33]>> It's unbelievable, folks. Unbelievable.

[00:39:35]Unbelievable how how much you have to bark and beg just to get just to get a first place. It's messed up. It's It's a messed up currency that they have in this game. And I'm not talking about the jade. I'm talking about an emotional currency. Folks, Ma, spit on me. Fun game. Having a great time. Sus certainly doesn't help. Let's go backwards cuz I remember this the most. Um, when should we have started folding? Cuz it was at this point that I was like a little bit bummed. You wanted me to play this a little bit more normal. I hear you. I I genuinely hear you. You want me to play this a little bit more normal.

[00:40:11]It's okay. 25 to 26. So, these aren't the worst decisions I've ever had.

[00:40:16]They're okay with full-on offense here as well. That's gross. I just simply don't agree with that. I just simply don't agree. And then for the rest of this match score B, I mean, I kind of play this weird. You want me to cut seven of characters cuz why? I see two sixes and two fives. Nope. I No. No. I I can't. I can't. I I can't do that. I I just can't cuz the not what you think nine comes from. If anything, it'll come from a 67. That's fair. That's genuinely fair. I I don't hate that. But it's also just a sevenpoint difference. I'm not going to cry over a sevenpoint difference. Gaming, gaming, gaming.

[00:40:55]Okay. So, but personally, like for my own ethos, for my own sanity, like I don't know. I don't know how earnestly you want to play this hand. Look at this. Three pairs a gazillion tiles away from Tempai. We could have done what other players have done with us and like done done like a like a building demolition level fold.

[00:41:19]like literally just start first cut five of characters, you know what I mean? Or or something equally ridiculous.

[00:41:27]I'm not gonna say, okay, I'm not go I'm nor going to say that this is 100% correct, but we need to start thinking about like I I don't even know like cold cold I'm talking five Come on. First throw.

[00:41:58]You know what I mean? Like we're in first and this hand is not great. May maybe to hedge seven pairs.

[00:42:11]We can cut like like I I don't know. I don't know. Six pin first.

[00:42:17]But we hated not having any defense.

[00:42:24]Yeah, this is this is a tricky spot.

[00:42:26]Genuinely a tricky spot. I don't know.

[00:42:28]We need to consider when we're protecting our lead the heartbreaking like fold. Um I I don't know.

[00:42:38]They they weren't happy about this Son Shoku at all. Why was I trying to tunnel vision for it? Can someone please explain that when I have a perfectly good Yeah. What What the f was going to be my pair? I tunnel vision so hard for Sonoku here. Just because mixed trouble sequence exists doesn't mean you have to do it. And then and then I don't know like I don't know this just not a great situation. Our tunnel vision is so hard cuz cuz even if we had cheat into that last 7 8 9 what's our pair going to be?

[00:43:06]The Dora. It it's not the worst idea I've ever had but it's just a little it's a insy bit too greedy. Whereas we're just one tile alloy from tempai now and so I'm I'm feeling a lot better about that. This is a weirder situation.

[00:43:20]Do a bamboo unequivocally correct and it dealt you into a freaking landmine.

[00:43:24]Yeah. Yeah. That's This game is This game is cruel. East four repeat one. No con.

[00:43:31]We were We were gaming here. We were genuinely gaming here. Repeat one.

[00:43:40]They wanted me to con. That's And this throw is unthinkable cuz their hand is so good.

[00:43:48]If any if anything, nine of bamboo was the throw. Okay, I I can respect that a little bit more and just flirt with the idea of Khan more, but I was still really happy at how this hand turned out. I'm not joking. Pawn is on site and then we're in Tempai for a mangan. A literally effing mongan in the dealer scene. What What does the con give us?

[00:44:06]We want more than that. I I don't know.

[00:44:08]I don't know. Heartbreaking. This was I almost swore this was messed up. Reachi is unequivocally correct. Oh my god.

[00:44:16]Show of hands. Who has the white dragons? No one. They're just in the wall somewhere. And then right lord chases my reachi with the worst thing that I've ever seen in my entire life.

[00:44:24]Reachi single york. No, there's no way that this is correct. There's no way.

[00:44:32]Please just start throwing suji. I I don't get it. I genuinely don't get it.

[00:44:37]I I I don't understand what's going on here whatsoever. Rachi is not unthinkable at this point, but I wouldn't have gotten us to this point.

[00:44:44]Like the likelihood that you end up in a like it's not even a good way. That's an unthinkable reachi to me. That is genuinely unthinkable reachi.

[00:44:52]And then and then you sure inside suji and then the reachi is really ill advised here cuz if you reach now six of characters becomes like dangerous again whereas right now it looks so safe. I don't know cuz it's all symbols three dora pure double sequence all symbols three dora all symbols three dora pure double sequence is 8,000 points 10,000 points if you count rai sticks but it's also fun to slam reachi here I get it third third chasing reachi is always fun so I I I can honestly get it um east three tempai with three of characters yeah there there we got so punished here you wanted me to cut the five cuz no one's going to cut the dora and there's no difference between all symbols dora dora Red five. Red five.

[00:45:42]Yeah. And this makes no difference to us. No one's going to cut the Dora. But someone might cut the four. No one's going to cut Dora or red five, but someone's going to cut the four. 58 to 31 is not the worst thing you've ever seen.

[00:45:59]And we were hoping to what? Draw into the Dora. I don't know about that. I I don't know if I can glean too much from this situation. I know how freaky that is, but may maybe this is just a no one warns the wicked and no one cuts the door.

[00:46:15]Consider the fact that you are not you're not the only you're not the only Maong player with an insatiable amount of greed within you. No one is going to discard the Dora.

[00:46:34]We must pivot as a result. I I don't know. The these these these two 86 and 87 these are a little bit like Zuzi. I don't know if they can be etched in stone, but they are um they they don't look bad, you know, like we we have to start considering stuff like that. I literally just forgot what I wrote down.

[00:46:54]What did I just write down? Yeah. Yeah.

[00:46:55]Yeah. No one's going to discard the door. And so we got we got to keep that in mind, folks. Fun game. I mean 1,100.

[00:47:03]It's a clean number. Big I don't know uh lake pattern in the in the magistry. You hate that. Rank 993. Oh my god. Oh my god. Folks, that's going to do it for today's video.
