Shanpon (腹ボテ) is a [[machi|wait pattern]] involving two groups of paired tiles, where either is looking to complete a [[mentsu|triplet]].

A shanpon wait does not generate fu by itself. However, the triplet formed by a shanpon wait is worth fu.
*A triplet is worth 4 base fu.
*Fu is doubled if the triplet is composed of [[Jihai|honor tiles]] or [[Routouhai|terminals]].
*Fu is halved if the triplet is open (if the triplet is completed by [[ron]], it is considered open.)


== Usage ==
== Usage ==
Shanpon is considered a "bad wait", because it only waits for a maximum of 4 tiles of two tile types (2 tiles/type). Like the other bad waits, shanpon is immune to [[suji]]. Thus, it can be used for suji traps. Shanpon (along with tanki) can also incorporate [[honor]] tiles, which may be perceived as safer. Players looking to [[defense|defend]] may fall to a shanpon wait more easily.
If all 4 winning tiles are still available, all else equal, a shanpon wait is considered better than the other basic bad waits (those being [[kanchan]], [[penchan]], and [[tanki]]).
*During tenpai, shanpon waits for two types of tile, while the other only wait on one type of tile. Waiting on two different types of tile is generally better.
*Before tenpai, a shanpon wait - ''if both pairs are made from middle number tiles'' - has more available upgrades into [[ryanmen]].
However, because there are only 2 available tiles per type, it is easy for the tiles in a shanpon wait to be "used up". One or both types of tile may be incorporated into other players' hands (as either a pair or part of a sequence), thus limiting the wait.
=== Combinations ===
Shanpon may combine with other tile waits. Shanpon with [[ryanmen]] produces [[entotsu]]. This combination may be increased with [[ryanmenten]]. Shanpon has the ability to mix with itself. This is only possible with a built-in pattern of [[iipeikou]], plus a fourth numbered pair in the sequence.
