There are only 2 tiles that can turn a pair into a triplet (4 copies of each tile; 2 are already in the pair). Meanwhile, a [[ryanmen]] can be turned into a sequence with 8 tiles. While you can pon to turn pairs to triplets, your opponents might not discard the tiles you need to pon. The 2 tiles could be in the [[dead wall]], or used in an opponent's hand. | ||
Pairs made out of middle tiles (tiles from 3-7) are particularly hard to pon, because middle tiles are more likely to be kept in an opponent's hand. If you have multiple pairs made out of middle tiles, this yaku becomes slower to complete. | Pairs made out of middle tiles (tiles from 3-7) are particularly hard to pon, because middle tiles are more likely to be kept in an opponent's hand.
