Sifu discards
One of Bamboo
Discard 1 Bamboo · East looks ready, this is safest
The safest tile against East, who looks ready.
Sifu's reasoning
The 1 Bamboo you just drew is the tile least likely to deal in to East, who looks ready (2 exposed sets): East has thrown one already. Your hand is 2 steps from ready at best, too slow to race East, so Sifu stops chasing it. Many players would throw one of your pair of 1 Dots, but it is risky against East, and nobody has thrown one yet. Too far behind a player who looks ready? Fold: throw safe tiles, not useful ones.
