Gnoikj Neutral Newbie February 8, 2009 Share February 8, 2009 I'm no guru..but here goes... 1. When does "Tio Bao" happen? when you give out the winning tile to an obvious danger set...eg, the fellow has possible Da1 San1 Yuan2, and you give him the card that makes it happen. You have to pay him as well as losses incurred by other 2 players..The other 2 dun have to pay anything. 2. When does "Bao Da Pai" happen? Almost similar to the above answer. It means the fellow is waiting for possible winning "big" card. 3. Ping Hu is 4 Tai without flowers and 1 Tai with flowers (not counting value of flowers), correct? correct 4. When doing Ping Hu, cannot use "Da Pai" (Big Tiles) with Tai as eyes, correct? Correct...only "small" tiles. 5. Pong Pong Hu is 2 Tai without flowers, correct? Yes. 6. What are the prize $$ for Kong and Flower "Ga"? Why sometimes x2? Varies...different rules for some people.. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thug Clutched February 8, 2009 Share February 8, 2009 4. When doing Ping Hu, cannot use "Da Pai" (Big Tiles) with Tai as eyes, correct? Correct...only "small" tiles. To be exact, u cannot use any tiles that give u tai. For eg. U are now at dong feng xi(3rd from dealer and currently at dong feng) u cannot use dong and xi feng as they each give u 1 tai. However, u can use nan and bei. Of coz fa cai, bai ban and hong zhong cannot be used as eye. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viotrex Neutral Newbie February 9, 2009 Share February 9, 2009 Agreed; you need to pay school fees to learn and the quickest way to register the various mahjong combinations and lessons is when you're reluctantly paying your losses. Play with me and I'll also teach you the various payout of folds like 10c20c, 3/6, $1/$2, and etc; exponential or multiplier. On a serious note, mahjong is a game that's best appreciated if someone with experience walks you through the combinations and tactics. You can't expect to learn all in a short span of time unless you play everyday. Most importantly, even though tactics and a shrew understanding of the game are important, nothing beats pure luck at the end of the day. Equipping yourself with a sharp knowledge of the game and setting up a strong foundation in tactics are only to avoid making costly mistakes and in mahjong reducing losses is a form of winning in itself. No amount of luck can help you if you keep being the "sniper" by feeding winning tiles, ZHA HU, and BAO. Good luck and hope you can harvest your newbie luck in mahjong for 2009!

Sgnick 1st Gear February 9, 2009 Share February 9, 2009 (edited) 5. Pong Pong Hu is 2 Tai without flowers, correct? Pong Pong Hu itself is always worth 2 tai, with or w/o flowers doesn't affect it's 2 tai value, unlike Ping Hu.
