i have seen all sorts of players, the type who lose a few hundred only start to throw chips and bang table, the type who take the game very personal as if is settling some feud, the type who throw tiles when you are looking away, the type who twist their wrist and place the tile on the table so that you wont be able to tell what tile she throw, and some despicable one who calling peng hu and when pull flower, keep inside one. recently played with one group got one super lao jiao, the other leg told me, when wash tiles must not flip open the tiles, cos the lao jiao will remember the position of the tiles one. wah !!

 

the best types of players are those who can lose graciously and pay up steadfastly, and keep quiet throughout the game and only comment after each game. this type is few and rare. if anyone belongs to this category and wants to play mahjong, pm me.

 

this one can catch, same penalty as zha hu.

but once do that... basically can stop playing liao, sure fan lian one.

To prevent any unpleasant arguments over the table, it is always good to seek the consensus of the winning ways especially with players you have never met before or first time playing with folks you know.

 

The house rules clarification part will help to prevent the unfortunate zha hu situation.

 

As a matter of fact, I was playing with my wife, father-in-law and my nanny over the weekend. This is the first time my nanny was playing with us and though I tried to explain the house rules as clearly as I can, the one thing I had overlooked was gai hu.

 

I believe many of us do not subscribe to the gai hu aka 0 fan because of the ease of gaming and also no pride in winning. In addition how do you count winnings for a 0 fan situation?

 

So when my nanny tried to game once like that we were all flabbergasted. Despite both my father-in-law and myself explaining to her nicely about it, she refused to bulge and said that her neighbors considered a legitimate win.

 

We did not bao her and let her continue playing even though she was clearly upset.

 

So do set out the rules ( not really possible but do try to cover as many as you can) in evey game you play with a stranger...

Different place different rules... Is good to confirm rules before game start

 

Like ours 大牌一九 is only 1 extra fold

btw, if u DO za hu, how much must u pay the other 3 parties?

 

Max, according to the limit you set.

 

e.g. If max is $40 for 5 doubles, the zha hu fella has to pay the other 3 players $40 each.

 

Normally local players set at 5 doubles but some do up to 8-9 doubles but from 5 doubles onwards add $20-40 per fan instead of the usual counting from 1-5 doubles.

 

Those MJ games portrayed in the movies normally set no limit which is quite scary...
