Given the number of pairs in this hand, it is often tempting to call pon with matching discards to the pairs. However, it is generally noted that toitoi is actually a slower developing hand in this instance. This is especially the case, when the potential chiitoitsu hand sits at [[Shanten|iishanten]]; and it may actually be recommended to let the hand develop into a chiitoitsu [[tenpai]], rather than forcing [[toitoi]]. Tenpai for chiitoitsu always uses the wait of [[tanki]] (pair wait) in order to complete the seventh and last pair for the hand. | Given the number of pairs in this hand, it is often tempting to call pon with matching discards to the pairs.

Nevertheless, transition to other yaku may actually be favorable, if the hand develops at least one [[ankou]]. In this case, players may find themselves looking to develop a toitoi hand, sanankou, or even suuankou. Whatever the case may be, this consideration does take some discretion, particularly when taking into account the number of tiles available, current point standing, and/or number of tile draws remaining. | Nevertheless, transition to other yaku may actually be favorable, if the hand develops at least one [[ankou]].

Finally, the pairs must be distinct. A group of tiles forming ankan does not count as 2 tile pairings. Some house rules actually allow four-of-a-kind to count as two pairs. | Finally, the pairs must be distinct. A group of tiles forming ankan does not count as 2 tile pairings.
