In English, pinfu is sometimes referred to as "all sequences". | In English, pinfu is sometimes referred to as "all sequences". However, the yaku is not as simple as that. Other than having an open hand, it is possible for a hand to be composed of all sequences and still not be classed as a pinfu. | ||

Pinfu is one of the most common yaku. When developing a hand, players will naturally keep [[ryanmen]] shapes in their hand, due to their higher [[tile efficiency]]. In addition, sequences are easier to complete than triplets. While it isn't as fast as [[tanyao]] or [[yakuhai]], since pinfu cannot be scored open, it is still seen often. It naturally pairs with sequence based yaku, namely [[sanshoku doujun]] and [[ittsuu]]. | |||
