Ep. 105: Hold Your Sixes: Cracking the 3-6-9 Code

The Mahjcast

Welcome back to The Mahjcast — Ira’s back in the cockpit and we’re diving straight into the 3-6-9.

This week, the Mahj Bros break down one of the most flexible (and quietly powerful) sections on the 2026 card — the 3, 6, 9 hands. We’re talking pivots, why you need to hold onto your sixes, and how one tile can unlock half the card if you play it right.

We also get into table culture — what makes a great host (and a terrible one), plus a spicy Call It! on tile slammers vs. respecting the flow of the game.

In the Mahj Moment, we’re shouting out listeners, spotlighting some of our favorite IG handles like House of Mahj and Four Blondes Mahjong, and realizing… yeah, we might actually be influencing the culture 👀

And of course — Dream Table gets personal, and The Last Tile brings it home with a reminder that this game isn’t about mastering everything at once… it’s about staying in it, learning, and building community one hand at a time.

Pull up a chair, rack your tiles, and let’s play.
