 === Hand lock ===
-By declaring riichi, one is locking their hand for the rest of the round. This means that they cannot change the hand to get a better wait, nor can they choose to defend if another player decides to contest the Riichi. This is really the most major risk of declaring riichi. Generally, the hand that is first to tenpai has significant advantage over other hands and thus the reward is well worth the risk, but especially if the hand's shape is not good, or if the risk of dealing in is greater than the reward of winning the hand with additional value, then it can be a bigger point of consideration.
