What the coach saw

Your hand leans toward Winds & Dragons (6 wind/dragon tiles).

3 jokers, gold for pungs and kongs, but remember: jokers can never fill a pair, and you may not pass them in the Charleston.

The strongest category here is Winds & Dragons (6 wind/dragon tiles). The backup direction, if the draws turn, is Consecutive Numbers.

Keep and pass

Build around: Soap (White), Soap (White), Green Dragon, Red Dragon, East, South.

In the Charleston, these can go, and here is why:

1 Bam: it does nothing for Winds & Dragons, and it has no run to join in any suit yet, so it does little for your second option, Consecutive Numbers

4 Bam: it does nothing for Winds & Dragons, and it has no run to join in any suit yet, so it does little for your second option, Consecutive Numbers

9 Bam: it does nothing for Winds & Dragons, and it has no run to join in any suit yet, so it does little for your second option, Consecutive Numbers
