Six of Dots
Discard 6 Dots · keeps 2 waits (5 left), risky vs West
Moves you to ready, waiting on 6 Bamboo, 9 Bamboo (5 left).
Sifu's reasoning
The 6 Dots is a spare copy: another 6 Dots already sits in your 4-5-6 Dots run. Without it you are ready: 3 complete sets, a pair of 3 Bamboo, and a two-sided 7-8 Bamboo, waiting on 6 Bamboo or 9 Bamboo (5 left). Only a self-draw reaches 3 faan here. Throwing the 5 Characters you just drew leaves you 1 step from ready instead of ready. Count steps before shapes: the tile that gets you ready comes first.
