For many players who are new to Mahjong, the most exciting moment is to shout out the sentence,"Playing Mahjong is crazy." However, Hu cards do not rely entirely on luck. Only by mastering certain skills and avoiding common misunderstandings can you be more comfortable at the table. This article will provide you with a detailed analysis of Hupai skills from novice to expert, and point out those misunderstandings that are easy to ignore.

1. Understand the basic meaning of "playing mahjong is a fool"

The sentence "Is playing mahjong too bad" usually appears when a player completes a hand of cards that conforms to the rules, expressing the joy of victory. In Mahjong terminology,"Hu" means that your hand has met the conditions for a draw and you can declare victory. However, Hu Pai is not simply a matter of gathering four sets of faces and a pair of generals. Different mahjong rules (such as national standard mahjong, Sichuan mahjong, Guangdong mahjong, etc.) have different requirements for Hu Pai. Therefore, before starting the game, be sure to understand the rules of Mahjong you play and clarify which cards can be played and which are fraudulent.

2. Basic skills of Hupai that novices must learn

For newcomers who are just starting, mastering the following basic skills can significantly improve Hupai efficiency:

  • Be familiar with basic card types: Understand the basic concepts of straight, carved son, and pairing, as well as common Hu card types such as flat Hu, touch Hu, and uniform. This is the basis for judging whether you are close to Hupai.
  • Learn to manage cards and plan: Quickly organize the cards in your hand after touching the cards and formulate a preliminary direction of making cards based on the type of cards in your hand. For example, if you have more cards of the same suit at the beginning, you can consider making a uniform; if you have more pairs, you can try touching your hands.
  • Observation card pool and opponents: Pay attention to the cards played by other players and speculate on the cards they may need to avoid firing shots. At the same time, judge the probability of remaining cards based on the cards that have appeared in the card pool and adjust your card selection.
  • Reasonably use the bargaining bar: Eating, touching, and bars can speed up card making, but it will also expose your card type. The pros and cons need to be weighed and used when necessary to avoid premature disclosure of intentions.

3. Advanced master: Strategies to increase the probability of winning cards

When you are proficient in basic skills, you can try the following advanced strategies to further increase your poker rate:

  1. Flexible change of card types: Don't be stubborn about one card type, adjust it in time according to the card drawing situation. For example, if you originally wanted to make a uniform, but found that the suit was difficult to touch, you could switch to a mixed color or a flat color.
  2. Control the timing of playing cards: Listening to cards is not better as early as possible. Sometimes listening to cards too early but the face of the cards is narrow, which makes it easier to click. Learn to listen to cards at the right time and choose a card type with a large number of cards.
  3. Use of psychological tactics: Confusion your opponent with expressions, movements or words and make them misjudge your card type. For example, deliberately hesitate or sigh to let your opponent think you have bad cards and relax your vigilance.
  4. Remember and count cards: Experts can often remember the cards that have been played and calculate the remaining cards. This requires a lot of practice and keen observation, but can greatly improve the accuracy of decision-making.

4. Common misunderstanding: Why can't you always be stupid?

Many players fail repeatedly at the table, often because they fall into the following misunderstandings:

  • Greedy the big and abandon the small: blindly pursuing big-name models, such as all-in-one and seven-in-one, while ignoring Xiao Hu's opportunities. The result is often that big names are not made and Xiao Hu misses out.
  • Pay no attention to defense: Only focus on your own cards and not observe your opponents, resulting in frequent shots. Mahjong is not only a game of offense, defense is equally important.
  • Emotional playing cards: After losing a few games, he became impatient and began to play cards indiscriminately, leading to a vicious cycle. Maintaining a calm mind is the key to long-term success.
  • Excessive reliance on luck: I think that mahjong relies entirely on luck and does not learn skills. In fact, skills can allow you to reduce losses when you are unlucky and expand results when you are lucky.

5. Practical case analysis: from "playing mahjong is a fool" to stabilizing the fool's card

Suppose you are playing Sichuan Mahjong (bloody battle to the end). The starting cards are: 10,000, 20,000, 30,000, 50,000, 60,000, 70,000, 90,000, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, East, West, West. This hand has more than 10,000 cards, with straight strokes of 10,000 - 30,000 and 50,000 - 70,000, and pairs of 90,000, east and west. At this time, you can consider making all ten thousand sons, but you need to touch more ten thousand sons. If ten thousand pieces are delayed during the card drawing process and the strips are gradually formed, you can decisively give up the uniform color and switch to a mixed color or a flat color. In the end, you get a 40,000 card, forming straight scores of 10,000 - 40,000 and 50,000 - 70,000, 90,000 pairs, strips of 2-4 straight scores, 6, 8 singles, and East and West pairs. At this time, 6 and 8 cards were listened. Although the card face was narrow, by observing the card pool, it was found that 6 and 8 cards had not yet appeared, and the opponent had played fewer cards. It was judged that they might still be in the card wall. Sure enough, after a few rounds, you scored 6 games and successfully won. This case shows that flexible adjustment of card types and accurate judgment of remaining cards are the key to Hu cards.
