If tenpai renchan is the rule in effect, then as a hand nears an exhaustive draw, the dealer is encouraged to remain tenpai in order to claim a renchan. This may result in riskier play than usual, since the dealer has more at stake than the other players.

Near the end of the game, the strategy regarding renchan can change. A player who is very far behind is hard-pressed to win many renchan in order to climb back up and possibly surpass other players' scores, while a player in first wants the game to end as quickly as possible. Nearing the end, a dealer with a sizeable lead may deliberately avoid a renchan (especially if [[agari yame]] is not being used) in order to avoid the risk of a large tsumo, and to hasten the end of the game.
