As a result, the hand in [[tenpai]] always has a [[Tanki|hadaka tanki]] wait. In order to call each kan, a player must draw at least 3 out of 4 tiles of a single tile type: | ||
* A player has a pair and calls pon, then draws the fourth to [[shouminkan|call kan]]. | * A player has a pair and calls pon, then draws the fourth to [[shouminkan|call kan]]. | ||

Since suukantsu requires a player to draw into four closed triplets, any hand that scores suukantsu would also have met the requirements for the significantly easier [[suuankou]]. Since they are both worth the same value, there are very few reasons to go for suukantsu. | |||
*You must obtain a total of 4/4 tiles of four different types | |||
Reasons why suukantsu is so difficult: | |||
*If any other player has called kan, the hand becomes impossible. If playing with abortive draws, this will trigger [[suukaikan]]. If playing without, then players are still only allowed a combined total of 4 kans in one game. | *You must obtain a total of 4/4 tiles of four different types, where 3/4 are self drawn. | ||
*If any other player has called kan, the hand becomes impossible. If playing with abortive draws, this will trigger [[suukaikan]]. If playing without, then players are still only allowed a combined total of 4 kans in one game, preventing the yakuman. | |||
*Calling four kans adds a total of four kan dora, which will greatly boost the value of others' hands. A player may not want to kan even once in order to avoid the extra dora. | *Calling four kans adds a total of four kan dora, which will greatly boost the value of others' hands.

*Open & added kans are the easiest type of kan, but they require you to open your hand. Since there is no [[yaku]] for a kan until the third kan, committing to an open kan is risky. | |||
*Calling four kans immediately reveals you have a yakuman hand, so players are likely to defend. | *Calling four kans immediately reveals you have a yakuman hand, so players are likely to defend. | ||

Finally, like any other yakuman, another player could have a faster hand and win before you. | Finally, like any other yakuman, another player could have a faster hand and win before you. | ||
