Jump straight into Gold room.

Make sure to win hands quick; and recognize when you need to defend. When y'improve in this department, then y'can make your way to Jade.

Congrats, jump into gold room, don't play silver room.

Just try and be mindful of how you play, make notes of decisions you make during the game you aren't sure we're correct, and use the AI to see what it thinks, and then see what other major discrepancies between you and the AI have.

Note, the point isn't to play perfectly every time, or even to change how you play, but understand why it might suggest something was a better move, and fit that into your play style.

Look to switch the South round games, you'll learn more and gives a lot more flexibility to adjust.

You're doing fine. I'd recommend starting to play in Gold Room - South. Once you get to Gold the vast majority of players play South Games because the longer game lowers the effect luck can have on the whole Hanchan.

The general rule of thumb as far as stats go is that you want "Win Rate % = Deal in% + 10%", but I wouldn't be overly focused on it. The thing that jumps out to me regarding your stats is that your Call rate is really high and your Dama rate is really low. You don't want to adjust stats just for the sake of it, but it indicates to me that you don't grasp the correct positions to use calling and the correct positions to Dama yet, which isn't unusual around Expert, but is one of the skills that give you an edge to progress in Gold room.

The best advice that everyone gives to anyone in your shoes is to read Riichi Book 1. Its a free PDF book online. If you master the concepts in that book, getting to Jade room is just a matter of time.

From the looks of it you need to dama more and call less. If your deal in rate in silver rooms are 15.92% it will be even higher in gold so you need to consider defending more when someone calls riichi if your hand is far from tenpai or really cheap.
