Suji based off the riichi declaration tile is more dangerous than normal. This is partly due to the strength of a ryankan shape. Ryankans are shapes like 135 or 468. These shapes are often kept for a long time for [[tile efficiency]] reasons. When reaching tenpai with a ryankan incomplete, a tile has to be discarded, e.g. 135 discarding 5 to wait on "suji" 2. Therefore, a player relying on suji may deal in. (Note that suji 1 and 9 are unaffected by this, as they cannot be part of a ryankan.) | |||

There are 18 "untested" suji intervals. So if we assume the opponent has a ryanmen wait, there is only a 1/18 chance that any one of the untested suji intervals deals in. (A given ryanmen could be any one out of the 18 different suji intervals, so 1/18.) | ||
If an opponent declares riichi after discarding 4-man, 2-pin, 6-pin, and 5-sou, then the following suji are safe: 1-4 man, 4-7 man, 2-5 pin, 3-6 pin, 6-9 pin, 2-5 sou, and 5-8 sou. This "eliminates" 8 suji intervals, leaving 10 intervals unaccounted for.

The reason ura suji is not that much more dangerous than normal is because it assumes a (35) kanchan had existed in the first place. The 5-pin could have been an unrelated tile, or it could have been part of a 57 kanchan, or part of a completed 556 shape, or part of a completed 135 shape, etc. Even if the kanchan did exist, an opponent could have drew a | The reason ura suji is not that much more dangerous than normal is because it assumes a (35) kanchan had existed in the first place.
