A hand that is not closed is known as an open hand. This would be a hand that has called [[chii]], [[pon]], or an open [[kan]]. If a hand is open, it cannot score some [[yaku]], and other yaku are reduced in value. While an open hand is usually less valuable than a closed one, but it has the ability to use chii and pon to complete faster. | A hand that is not closed is known as an open hand.
