Pinfu is incompatible with any yaku that requires a [[ankou|triplet]], including [[rinshan]]. It is similarly incompatible with [[chiitoitsu]], which does not use [[mentsu]] at all. On the other hand, pinfu works any sequential based yaku. As long as the hand is closed, the pair does not produce "[[Scoring#Fu|fu]]", and the wait is [[ryanmen|open]], then pinfu may be applied. | |||

*When playing with a closed hand, sequences are much easier to complete than triplets, so having "all sequences" is reasonably common. | |||
*[[Ryanmen]] waits have better [[tile efficiency]] than other waits, so players will normally gather and keep ryanmen in their hand. | |||
*Pairs are even easier to complete than sequences. | |||
Therefore, by aiming to complete a closed hand quickly, players will often end up scoring this yaku as a byproduct. While pinfu won't be as fast as [[tanyao]] or [[yakuhai]], because it cannot be scored open, this yaku is still seen often. | |||
It naturally combines with other sequence based yaku, namely [[iipeikou]], [[sanshoku doujun]], and [[ittsuu]]. | It naturally combines with other sequence based yaku, namely [[iipeikou]], [[sanshoku doujun]], and [[ittsuu]]. | ||
