In the modern day, ura suji is often disregarded. It is true that, if an opponent discards a 5-pin early, then a non-suji 4-pin is at least somewhat more dangerous than normal. However, a non-suji 4-man, 5-man, 4-sou, etc. would also be dangerous tiles. Therefore, knowing about ura suji would not change your behavior. | In the modern day, ura suji is often disregarded.

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 completed the 23 sequence before reaching tenpai. | 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.
