*During tenpai, shanpon waits for two types of tile, while the other only wait on one type of tile. Waiting on two different types of tile is generally better.

*Before tenpai, a shanpon wait - assuming the pairs are made of number tiles - has more available upgrades into [[ryanmen]]. Pairs made of middle number tiles have better chances to upgrade.


However, because there are only 2 available tiles per type, it is easy for the tiles in a shanpon wait to be "used up". One or both types of tile may be incorporated into other players' hands (as either a pair or part of a sequence), thus limiting the wait.
