Well damn you should be master 2 not expert 2! That actually makes perfect sense, no matter how good a hand can get, if you can't complete it it's worthless after all, and aiming for sanshoku is definitely easy to tell indeed. Thanks for your reply
Yup they mentioned repeatedly throughout this manga that showa players rarely call (but never really explain why). There is even a flashback showing this character got his scar by getting sliced up for calling too much when he was young, so apparently that was no joke lol
Haha, thanks for the compliment! I'm slowly headed up to master. I'm close to expert 3. I just keep getting my rank knocked down right before I cross the threshold. I'm learning more every day though, and hopefully I'll make it up there!
After thinking through it a little more, my guess for being against calling is that it does push the hand to end faster. So if everyone is wanting to try build more satisfying hands but that one person keeps calling and forcing 2-4k hands, it can get annoying. I've had games like that where I also want to kill that one person XD.
