=== Hand shape and waits === | === Hand shape and waits === | ||
After a riichi call, the likelihood of the hand winning places itself on its hand shape and [[machi|tile waits]]. Hands with waits of three tiles or greater, such as [[ryanmentan]] or [[sanmenten]], have a favorable chance of winning. One tile waits, such as [[kanchan]] or even [[tanki]], can sneak its way to a winning hand, before the "favorable" hand does. So, quantity does not necessarily imply a guarantee; yet it certainly does factor towards the riichi call. Often, the liklihood of winning encourages players to making that riichi call. | |||
