In actual Mahjong combat, card blocking is an important operation, but how to play cards after the card blocking confuses many players. The structure of the hand changes after the card is stacked, and the chances of playing cards also change accordingly. This article will focus on the core issue of "how to play mahjong" and analyze in detail the rules, card types and techniques of playing poker behind the bar to help you make it easier at the table.

The basic rules of the game

First of all, it needs to be clear that the bar cards are divided into three types: open bar, dark bar and added bar. However, no matter which type of bar, one card needs to be filled from the end of the card wall after the bar card, and then one card is played, and the number of cards in the hand remains unchanged (the number of cards in the hand after the dark bar and added bar card is still 13, and the number of cards in the hand is played after the open bar card is played). The card behind the bar usually refers to the card formed after the card is replaced, including two situations: one is to directly touch the card after the card is replaced, which is called "blooming on the bar"; the other is to play a card after the card is replaced, and then wait for other players to click on the card or draw the card themselves.

In most mahjong rules, there are extra rewards for cards behind the bars, such as "blooming on the bars", which is usually doubled or more. Therefore, bar cards are not only a means to increase bar points, but may also become a springboard for Hu cards.

Common card types of Hu cards behind the bar

The card type of Hu cards behind the bar is the same as that of ordinary Hu cards, including basic Hu, pairs of Hu cards, uniform, mixed color, and seven-equivalent. However, it is often easier to form some special card types after the bars, because the number of carvings in the hand after the bars increases, making it easier to form a touch or three dark carvings. For example, if you have three of the same cards in your hand, and you touch another card after the card is taken out, it may form a four-in-one or a direct card.

In addition, if the back-bar replacement card happens to be the key card needed by Hu, it can be achieved on the bar. For example, when you listen to the cards, you can hang a single card, and the card is exactly the same card after the card is taken, so you can play a card. Therefore, you must consider the situation of listening to cards before trading. If you have already listened to cards, trading may bring opportunities for direct cards.

Practical skills of Hupai behind the bar

How to increase the probability of winning cards after trading? The following skills are worth mastering:

  • Be cautious after listening to the cards: If you have already listened to the cards, the card may damage the structure of the card listening. Unless the card can form a better card listening or a direct card, it is not recommended to pass the cards easily.
  • Use bars to change card types: Sometimes the cards in the hand are far away from the Hu card, and making up cards after the cards may bring a turning point, such as touching the key cards to form a straight or cut.
  • Observe the sign river and judge the safety sign: Cards played after the card should be as safe as possible, avoid shooting, and consider the possibility of subsequent card drawing.
  • Calculate the number of cards remaining: Bars will reduce the number of cards in the card wall and affect the probability of playing cards. It is necessary to combine the existing cards to judge the number of cards in the remaining cards.

Common misunderstandings about Hu cards behind bars

Many players easily fall into misunderstandings after trading cards, resulting in missed opportunities to play cards. For example, blindly holding cards causes the listening cards to be destroyed, or a dangerous card is played after holding cards. There are also players who think that they must immediately play cards after holding cards. In fact, they can continue to adjust their hands after holding cards and wait for a better opportunity to play cards. In addition, although blooming on the bar is tempting, the probability is not high. We should not give up the stable Hupai route in pursuit of blooming on the bar.
