M7: Mah Jong Strategies

There are many valid strategies that can be used to play Mah Jongg. Some apply only to particular styles of Mah Jongg while others can be applied across the board. Most importantly, there is usually no single "best" or "right" strategy for a particular situation. Strategies must be adjusted depending on the situation (considering the probabilities, the other players, the length of the wall, the amount at stake, etc.). The skilled player always uses a flexible, strategic approach. You can't win if you throw the winning tile to someone else! Defensive play is important to becoming a good player and is part of the game's learning curve. Typically, beginner players aren't aware of deeper strategy due to a greater focus devoted to general hand development. This clinic is designed for intermediate players who already have a firm grasp of the basics.
