Sifu discards
Six of Characters
Discard 6 Characters · waits on 5 Dots (4 left)
Moves you to ready, waiting on 5 Dots (4 left).
Sifu's reasoning
The 6 Characters is a spare copy: another 6 Characters already sits in your 4-5-6 Characters run. Without it you are ready: 3 complete sets, a pair of 6 Bamboo, and a middle 4-6 Dots, waiting on 5 Dots (4 left). Only a self-draw reaches 3 faan here. Many players would throw the 6 Dots you just drew, but it leaves you 1 step from ready instead of ready. Before anything else, look for the discard that makes you ready.
