so i will juz talk abt certain confusions in "Ping Hu"....
wat is 平胡

平胡 consists of mainly
a)4 sequences &
b)1 pair



this is ping hu


nuttin much to talk abt e 4 sequences....
as for e pair...it cant b a pair of "dragons"...
dragons r any 1 of those 3.....



Dragons

the pair also muz not correspond to e "wind" u r currently at....
or the "wind" of ur seat....
"winds" r any 1 of those 4...



winds

to know the "wind" u r at...very simple...
juz look at dat.....
wind...
which is located somewhere on e table....
cant find it?
ask ur fren...
dey will tell u if dey r ur fren....
as for e "wind" of ur seat...
ask e person nxt to u too...
he/she will gladly tell u...i hope....
if not...prepared to lose money bah
MOST IMPORTANT
**PLS READ**

waiting for?

u should b able to tell...
e last n winning tile could b a
3k or a 6k
yupz...datz e idea of 2 choices for e winning tile...
so obviously u cant wait for a tile which make up e pair...
but then again....u CAN wait for a single tile....
only n only if u 自摸 (self-touch)

平胡 muz satisfy all of e above criterias....
otherwise...it would become smelly (read: "Chao Ping Hu")
