In terms of pure acceptance, this is a very weak wait, as there's only one tile left to win off of. It is unreliable, since your lone tile could be in the [[dead wall]]. It is slow, since pairs are more common than sequences (thus, you'd need to go out of the way to have a tanki wait).

However, because a jigoku wait is so poor, it can be used to trap players. A wait on an honor tile may actually end up being strong, as other players can view it as a [[defense|safe tile]] and deal in. A jigoku tanki off a number tile that would be subject to [[suji]] or [[kabe]] is also more powerful.
