You have an open hand, which means you can't go out with this.

To further unpack, this would be a winning hand if you didn't have that 9. A "tanyao" (all simples) will have no terminals (1,9) or honor tiles.

Still, as a general rule while you learn, it's best to avoid stealing from the discards.

ELI5? Thank you for info. I thought I had this game down. Clearly I'm still learning.

Immediately knew this was going to be the issue. Always trips beginners up

So, the round before this was very similar, except I did Pon once, Chi once, and then went out with a double and triples. That was also Open?

I'd have to see the hand itself, but my guess it was the All Simples I was talking about.

Okay so, this hand works IF no 1s 9s, or any of the dragons/directions?

@AllHeDoesIsWin,

Saw your message, and you're not wrong. That single 9 appears to be getting me. I still have the game paused, so I'ma discard it and hope for the best. seeing as I have 3 6's of the Circles though makes this much more dfficult :(

Thank you CyricZ and AllHeDoesIsWin! Really appreciate the info
