Hong Kong Mahjong - Advanced Strategy - Lesson #3

Prerequisite:
This lesson is for players who can build a winning hand and understand basic faan scoring (our Scoring class, Lesson #2, covers this) and want to sharpen how they play.

Who is it for?

You can play, but something feels off. You're not sure which tiles to throw. Your hand never feels ready or it's not ready fast enough to win. This class focuses on what separates casual players from confident ones: how to think about your hand. Learn the art of intelligent discarding and hand building that maximizes your options. Whether you are building your first winning hand or defending against aggressive players, this class will change how you approach the game.

What you'll learn:

• Tile efficiency: the full breakdown. You hear Mrs. K say it a lot but this time we will fully deep dive into what the concept is!
• 5 and 6 Block Theory: the framework for organizing your hand.
• Smart hand building tips for keeping your options open.
• Defensive tactics to adjust your strategy late in the game.

What’s included:

• Live instruction from an experienced teacher
• Homework problems and answer key for you to take home and study
• Hand-building strategies that keep you flexible and get you ready faster
• Tips on smarter decision-making
• Comfortable studio with clean bathrooms and free parking

You’ll leave discarding with intention instead of instinct — and reading the table like the strong players do.
