Sifu discards
Two of Bamboo
Discard 2 Bamboo · waits on 7 Characters (3 left), safe vs West
Keeps you ready on 7 Characters (3 left). The next best tile left 1. Safe against West too.
Sifu's reasoning
The 2 Bamboo you just drew is isolated: no tile in your hand is within two of it. Without it you stay ready: 4 complete sets and a single 7 Characters waiting for its pair (3 left). Only a self-draw reaches 3 faan here. Throwing the isolated 7 Characters is dangerous against West, and nobody has thrown one yet. Once you are ready, count the winning tiles still unseen, not the shape.
