Due to the ease of use, ryanmen waits are by far the most commonly used wait pattern. Its biggest advantage stems on the maximum 8-tile count on two tile types. This is assuming both types are live tiles. In addition, the yaku pinfu requires ryanmen. making it one of the more frequently used yaku. As a two-tile pattern to complete a sequence, it is also a very compact shape leaving plenty of room to develop numerous hand patterns with the rest of the hand. In other words, it is a very efficient waiting pattern to use. This concept is applicable whether the hand is tenpai or not. | |||
