In actual Mahjong combat, it is not uncommon to touch a card at the beginning. Many players will feel excited and think that cards can increase the number of times and bring good luck, but it may also disrupt the original rhythm of card making. So,Mahjong has started. What's going on?？This article will provide you with a systematic response from aspects such as card types, card type adjustments, and offensive and defensive strategies.

1. Types and effects of opening cards

Opening cards are usually divided into three types:Minggang、the dark barandAdd a bar。The open bar is when you touch the fourth card after touching the cards, the dark bar is when you have four identical cards in your hand, and the additional bar is when someone else plays the fourth card after touching the cards. Different types of bar cards have different effects on the game: hidden bars do not expose the card type and are highly safe; exposed bars and added bars will expose some of the cards and will be easily targeted by opponents.

After you draw the cards, you will get a chance to make up the cards, which is equivalent to one more card draw, theoretically increasing the chance to draw yourself or improve the card type. But at the same time, bars will also reduce the number of cards in your hand. If the bars do not match your card shape, it will slow down the speed of the cards. Therefore, after starting the game, it is necessary to quickly evaluate the value of the game and adjust the strategy.

2. The card type adjustment strategy after the card is traded

1. Determine whether the bar card is consistent with the card type direction

If the cards happen to be the cards you plan to do, for example, if you originally wanted to make a uniform or mixed color, the cards can increase the number of times without damaging the card type, so you can rest assured. However, if the bars are isolated and have little to do with the cards in the hand, we must consider how to re-plan behind the bars. For example, if you have a mixture of ten thousand pieces and strips in your hand, and suddenly you hold a wind card, you should keep the original hook first at this time and don't forcibly change direction just because of the card.

2. Use replacement opportunities to improve card types

Making up cards after the card is the key. Playing cards may bring new bridges, pairs, or direct calls. If the card type improves significantly after the card is replaced, you can continue to attack; if the card is useless or even makes the hand more scattered, consider turning to defense and avoiding shooting. Remember,Playing cards is not the goal, playing cards is the ultimate goal。

3. Pay attention to the safety of the sign behind the sign

After holding cards, the number of cards in your hand decreases, and the range of cards you can choose from becomes smaller. At this time, special attention should be paid to the safety of the cards, especially in the opening stage. The opponent's card type is not yet clear, so don't easily play dangerous cards. If the cards behind the bar are poor, you can give priority to playing the safety card, keep the cards, and wait for the opportunity.

3. Offensive and defensive conversion after the opening card

After the opening game, your position in the game may change. If the cards make your hand better, you can actively attack and strive to listen to the cards quickly; if the cards make your hand worse, turn to defense to reduce the risk of shooting. Here are some specific suggestions:

  • attack: If there are multiple hooks in the cards in your hand behind the bar and the cards are effective, you can boldly eat and speed up the listening speed. At the same time, pay attention to observe the opponent's cards and judge the danger cards.
  • defense: If the cards in your hands are scattered after the cards are stacked, do not force the cards. Give priority to playing safety cards, especially the cards and familiar cards. Keep the pair or tie and wait for subsequent cards to improve.
  • psychological game: Opening cards may make opponents think you have good hands and strengthen defense against you. You can use this mentality to appropriately play some seemingly dangerous cards and induce opponents to misjudge, but only if safety is ensured.

4. Common misunderstandings and matters needing attention

Many players easily make the following mistakes after opening the game:

  1. Blind card: No matter whether the card type is suitable, you can stick it whenever you see it, and the rhythm will be disrupted.
  2. Behind the bars are eager for success: After the cards in your hand become fewer, you are eager to eat and touch them, which makes it dangerous to lose the cards.
  3. Ignore defense: Thinking that he was lucky after holding the cards, he relaxed his vigilance and fired.

To avoid these misunderstandings, you need to remain calm and make reasonable decisions based on the actual card type. Remember,Mahjong has started. What's going on?The core lies in flexible adjustment rather than mechanical execution.

V. Summary

Opening cards are a double-edged sword that may bring both advantages and risks. The key lies in the adjustment of the strategy after the card is taken: judging the value of the card, taking advantage of the opportunity to make up cards, and making a good job in the conversion of attack and defense. As long as you master these skills, you can steadily move towards the cards even if you start with a card. I hope the sharing of this article will help you be more comfortable at the mahjong table.
