The deal

1234455788西

1 Bam, 2 Dot, 3 Dot, 4 Crak, 4 Dot, 5 Bam, 5 Dot, 7 Bam, 8 Bam, 8 Crak, Green Dragon, South, West

What the coach saw

Your hand leans toward Consecutive Numbers (4 in a row in dots). Second option: Even Numbers (2·4·6·8).

A 4-tile run in dots is a real spine, protect it.

Scattered hands are normal before the Charleston, pass boldly and re-read.

The strongest category here is Consecutive Numbers (4 in a row in dots). The backup direction, if the draws turn, is Even Numbers (2·4·6·8).

Keep and pass

Worth holding: 5 Dot, 8 Bam, 8 Crak, 2 Dot, 4 Dot.

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

Green Dragon: an unpaired Green Dragon, honors only score in groups, and your direction is Consecutive Numbers

South: an unpaired South, honors only score in groups, and your direction is Consecutive Numbers

West: an unpaired West, honors only score in groups, and your direction is Consecutive Numbers
