A hand needs 1 pair to win. When you have 2 pairs, either pair can be turned into a triplet, increasing tile acceptance by 4. When you have 3 pairs, one extra pair can be turned into a triplet, increasing tile efficiency by only 2. Therefore, keeping 2 pairs (ideally 1 as part of a 'ryanmen + pair' complex joint) is strong. Refer to the following tables: | A hand needs 1 pair to win. If it turns into a triplet, you'll need to make a pair elsewhere, or break the triplet later. When you have 2 pairs, either pair can be turned into a triplet freely, thus increasing tile acceptance by 4. When you have 3 pairs, one extra pair can be turned into a triplet, increasing tile efficiency by only 2. Therefore, keeping 2 pairs (ideally 1 as part of a 'ryanmen + pair' complex joint) is strong.
