Many have played mahjong for more than a decade, and the winnings have been up and down. Occasionally, they can be connected to the guillotine, and they can be finalised, mostly at a loss. After losing money each time, most of them only feel that their hands are too bad, that they feel that others are better off, and that they never reflect on their methods。
In fact, short-term winnings may be influenced by hand-held luck, but long years of sustained loss are not simply a matter of luck. A number of card friends adhere to a set of misplays, repeating the same mistakes day after day. Even if we win money occasionally, it's only a short-term gain, and as long as we get lucky, we'll throw it back。
Mahjong himself was random, but a stable approach could control losses and seize opportunities. Today, we're going to combo the common denominators that most people have been stepping on all along, break down the wrong thinking and contrast the right line。
First of all, an important reminder is that all the ideas in the text apply only to minor recreational activities between acquaintances. Stay away from all kinds of gambling and do not wish to rely on mahjong for income. The reference to winning and losing refers to reasonable control of losses, optimization of choice, and the absence of a winning game。
Mistake one: make the houtle the only target, and do everything you want to do
This is at the heart of the vast majority of long-term losers. Many players believe that playing mahjong is about listening to cards as soon as possible, and that any risk can be ignored if they are able to listen to them. Regardless of the stage of the game and whether or not the opponent is in shape, a high-risk medium-level card game is available as soon as a single card is reached。
Many people have experienced the scene: the game is nearing its end, there are already dangerous signals on the desktop, and it is clear that some people are about to lose their cards. Only one of his own hands was ready to listen to the cards, and the middle one came out with a taste, and the cannon was fired. A single large-scale loss tends to offset the gains of several successive tumblers。
Many people do not understand that a trade-off is needed between the huss and the non-pointing. Forced listening to cards is by nature a bet, and the deal itself is uneconomical if the revenues from the card are small and if the loss of light is huge。
The right thinking requires learning to choose. In the middle of the first half of the game, most of the opponents are still working on hand cards, at a lower risk, so that they can actively advance the cards and try to listen to them; once they enter the middle and later stage, multiple players continue to leave alone and are clearly close to listening to the cards, they have to evaluate the risks rationally. If you want to listen to cards, you must play high-risk cards, and giving up the cards and giving priority to defence is the long-term strategy. The card is a means of gain and not a task to be accomplished。
Zone 2: the game is fixed and the whole thing is either offensive or conservative
Play cards and see two extreme players. The first category is radical, good or bad, with one mind to make cards, a large number of cards, and few initiatives to defend; the other category is extremely conservative, with the best cards, and dares not to let go, but to play the safest nine cards and waste the best. Both of these fixed-downs are very small。
Only those who attack, who have good fortunes, and who keep firing as soon as the cards turn back, will be able to keep up, and it will be difficult to take advantage of the window period and wait passively for others to fail。
A truly rational way to play is to maintain a dynamic transition, based on two core points: the quality of one's hand and the situation on the whole。
The cards are full and small, and for the time being there is no visible sign of the cards, choosing to attack; the cards are scattered and extremely difficult to form, or many of them are coming into shape and are immediately turned into defensive。
The challenge is to change the judgement of the tester. A number of players have developed mental inertia, one card has gone well, and all of them have opted for a strong attack; one card guard has gone past a gun and is afraid to fight for a card, and it is natural that it will be difficult to stabilize the outcome in the long run。
Mistake three: just staring at the cards in your hand, ignoring the other three
New players play cards, all focus on their own cards, and they think about how to work with each other, and rarely about what other players play. It was only when he was blinded that he realized that there were signs。
Four pieces of information are equally important. Every card the opponent plays hides a clue. One player, for example, continues to play nine games, with the delay of losing a medium, suggesting that he retains a large number of effective pairs in his hands, and has taken the initiative to open three hundred and forty thousand such sides in the middle, with a high probability that they will not be far from listening to cards。
Only a player who looks at a hand is not able to predict risks, but only blindly. When the danger comes, there is no way to avoid it in time. In order to make progress in playing cards, it is necessary to develop habits: each time you touch a card, make a gap, quickly scan all the cards on the desktop, keep an eye on the order of the cards, collect useful information and use it to determine the danger of the cards。
A lot of people can't remember all the cards because they don't remember. There is no need for a complete memory, just to focus on the cards that you are about to play and the appearance of adjacent digital cards, and the threshold is not high. Long-term neglect of off-site information is tantamount to playing cards behind closed eyes, and it is normal to lose。
Miss four: losing the cards is all about turning the game. Loss
After many short-term losses, mental imbalances began to occur, with only one thought in mind: to hit more and win back the lost money. Continuing to fight with a flipping mind is an important cause of long years of loss。
When people are in a state of constant loss, negative sentiment accumulates, patience declines and judgement changes. The high-risk card, which was clearly impossible to play, would have survived; the rules that had been drawn up had all been left behind. The more you think about it, the easier it is to act impulsively, and the loss is constantly magnified。
On the other hand, there is a group of people who are greedy and reluctant to leave in time after winning cards. It's always hot. It's still profitable. The cards will not always be smooth, and after the peak, it will be easy to lose all the gains they have。
Long-term, stable pals set clear borders ahead of time. Reaching the table to determine the maximum losses that they can accept, as well as the upper limit of expected profits, touches on the criteria for a decisive end to the match. Winners and losers do not get kidnapped at short notice in order to hold the end. Many people are not card-playing technology. They simply cannot control themselves and can never stop。
Mistake five: superstition is good and bad, ignoring the human impact of choice
Many of the players are trapped in a dead end of thinking and blame all the results on luck. If you're good, you're good. You're bad. You play cards。
It's true that luck affects a single game, and no one can always get a good card. But luck is equal for all, and people can reduce their losses when hand cards are ordinary, until they get a good hand and seize the opportunity; people get bad cards and spread losses, and the long-term gap increases。
When the hand is low, the best strategy is to reduce consumption, maintain the cards, as little artillery as possible, and get through the low valley; stay calm when the hand is smooth, do not raise the risk at will, and build on the gains. Just waiting for luck to change, without a proactive adjustment, will never get out of a situation where there is more to lose and less to gain。
In addition to this, there is an easy-to-neglected detail: when many are in a bad mood and tired, others come to the table as soon as they ask. Poor physical and mental health, mental retardation and the probability of failure multiply. Forced playing cards in an inappropriate situation was in itself a wrong choice and a danger was laid from the start。
Learn to modify the playing method and create a stable set of counter-rules
When these chronically harmful areas become clear, it is necessary to gradually adapt the playing habits to establish a stable process of their own。
First, let's weigh the pros and cons in each round and ask ourselves: what are the risks of playing this card? Is it worth taking this risk to listen to cards? Stop playing cards with your instincts。
Secondly, it is a habit to observe the whole field, not just to stare at hand cards, and to learn to judge the situation by using rival patterns and desktop cards。
Thirdly, we should be flexible in adjusting our strategy to attack with a good hand and a safe environment; the situation is dangerous, the type of card usually chooses to defend, and we reject a path to darkness。
Fourthly, by setting up a win-win, time line ahead of schedule, the emotional imbalance immediately stops and does not insist on a reversal。
Fifthly, to look objectively at luck, to reduce wear and tear in low valleys, to stabilize the rhythm of the advantage period and to be patient。
It's not easy to change the practice of playing cards that has been developed for years. Many people understand the error and continue to repeat it in the field. The core obstacle is not a lack of understanding of the method, but rather an inability to contain the greed and impatience of the heart. When you can listen to cards, you can move, you can lose, and these emotions interfere with rational judgment。
We also need to make it clear that the amendment does not mean that each one of them is gilded. There are still instances of poor hand-held, unbridled cannons. Optimizing the play is about reducing unnecessary and significant losses, avoiding persistent repetition of low-level errors and stabilizing overall losses。
A number of players have been collecting various kinds of mahjong mouths, counting techniques and constantly trying new ways, with little success. The root cause is a deviation in the underlying thinking. Further advanced skills are difficult to function as long as the wrong bottom play is adhered to. In the wrong direction, it is difficult to get the desired results if you try harder。
Mahjong also looks like a mirror and can see a person's choices in the face of loss. It's hard to laugh at the end of the day for those who are quick, who don't know how to trade, who can't control their desires. Adjusting the playing method is also essentially a way to adjust the mindset of the losing and losing。
Finally, there is a renewed call for rational entertainment. Mahjong is just a leisure time for social purposes, not a lot of time and money. It's fun to keep the bottom line closed, not to gamble, to win and lose。
Topical discussion
Did you get caught playing cards? Do you think the hardest part of playing mahjong is to stop the damage in time or to give up listening to cards at risk?
