Sifu discards
Green Dragon
Discard Green Dragon · waits on 7 Characters (2 left), safe vs West
Keeps you ready on 7 Characters (2 left). The next best tile left 1. Safe against West too.
Sifu's reasoning
A pong of the Green Dragon you just drew would score, but a lone copy needs two more, and only 1 is still unseen. Without it you stay ready: 4 sets (2 exposed) and a single 7 Characters waiting for its pair (2 left). A win off a discard is worth 4 faan. Throwing the 7 Characters from your 6-7-8 Characters run is dangerous against West, and nobody has thrown one yet. Ready is not the end: pick the wait with the most tiles left.
