What the coach saw
Your hand leans toward Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9) (8 odd tiles).
Scattered hands are normal before the Charleston, pass boldly and re-read.
The strongest category here is Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9) (8 odd tiles). The backup direction, if the draws turn, is Consecutive Numbers.
Keep and pass
Worth holding: 3 Bam, 5 Bam, 7 Bam, 3 Dot, 5 Crak.
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 Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9)
2 Crak: a loner, serves neither Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9) nor Consecutive Numbers
6 Dot: a loner, serves neither Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9) nor Consecutive Numbers
More hands that went for Odd Numbers (1·3·5·7·9)
The same category, dealt differently. Reading several of them side by side is how the shape starts to look obvious at the table.
