In other words, it is an ''extremely strong'' floating tile. The ryanmen acceptance is about twice that of a normal 4 or 7! Therefore, keeping this shape is very powerful if your hand's joints are not entirely composed out of ryanmen-or-better. It's also great to keep if you need a pair (even if your hand has all ryanmens). | In other words, it is an ''extremely strong'' floating tile.

There's no ability to create a kanchan, so the acceptance is slightly worse than a nobetan. However, the ryanmen acceptance is still about twice that of normal floating tiles. Because this shape nearly guarantees a ryanmen when accepting a tile, it's great if you're going for [[pinfu]]. The chance for [[iipeikou]] also helps. If your hand's joints are already ryanmen-or-better, there's not much need to keep the bulging shape intact (here, discard the middle tile). | There's no ability to create a kanchan, so the acceptance is slightly worse than a nobetan.
