With regards to mahjong hands, the common question looks to determine the best practices of opening or closing a hand. For starters, players should know the [[yaku]] and their han values. Essentially, this begs the question: "Is it worth opening the hand, or is it better to remain closed?" Naturally, there are advantages and disadvantages to either approach. For both cases, the speed at which a hand attains [[tenpai]] rests on this decision. | With regards to mahjong hands, the common question looks to determine the best practices of opening or closing a hand.
