Sifu discards
Eight of Dots
Discard 8 Dots · 1 step from ready
1 step from ready with 32 useful tiles. The next best tile kept 29.
Sifu's reasoning
The 8 Dots only makes a two-sided 7-8 Dots with the 7 Dots, which needs 6 Dots or 9 Dots. Without it you keep 3 sets (1 exposed) and a pair of 8 Bamboo: 1 step from ready with 32 useful tiles. Your faan so far: the West Wind pong (+1), only 1 of the 3 needed. Throwing the 4 Dots you just drew keeps only 10 useful tiles instead of 32. Same steps from ready? Keep the tiles that accept the most draws.
