Sifu discards
Six of Characters
Discard 6 Characters · keeps 2 waits (8 left)
Keeps you ready on 4 Characters, 7 Characters (8 left). The next best tile left 4.
Sifu's reasoning
The 6 Characters breaks one of your 2 pairs, and a finished hand needs only one pair. Without it you stay ready: 3 complete sets, a pair of 8 Bamboo, and a two-sided 5-6 Characters, waiting on 4 Characters or 7 Characters (8 left). A win off a discard is worth 3 faan. The tempting choice is the 5 Characters from your two-sided 5-6 Characters, but it leaves only 4 winning tiles instead of 8. Ready is not the end: pick the wait with the most tiles left.
