When You Get Stuck, Live 60-Minute Zoom Strategy Session on American Mahjong

Every player gets stuck. You're six tiles into a hand that isn't coming together. You're split between two lines and counting again won't settle it. Nobody has thrown what you need in three turns and you're starting to wonder if you should have gone another way.

Getting stuck isn't a sign you're doing something wrong. It happens to everyone, every game. What actually separates players is having a move ready when it does.

Here's the thing I want you to take away: newer players get stuck because they can't see the options yet, and experienced players get stuck because they picked one too early and committed. Same moment at the table, opposite cause, opposite fix. We're covering both.

In 60 minutes we'll walk through seven ways a hand stalls and exactly what to do about each one:

• Thirteen tiles and nothing jumps out
• Split between two hands, so you're building neither
• The hand's gone cold and nobody's throwing what you need
• You half-pivoted and now you're on neither line
• The tile you need still hasn't shown up
• You can't tell whether to keep pushing or let it go
• There's no winning move left (there is)

You'll leave with a one-page stuck menu to keep next to your rack.
