If an open version of a hand is enough to improve your placement, no matter how it's won, then open the hand for the extra speed. Similarly, if you can guarantee improvement with a [[damaten]] hand, then do that. | If an open version of a hand is enough to improve your placement, no matter how it's won, then open the hand for the extra speed.

Riichi gives 1 han, plus random bonuses via [[ippatsu]], [[ura dora]], and/or [[mentsumo]]. If you're particularly lucky, a riichi-only hand can turn into 7900 points with riichi ippatsu mentsumo dora 1. | Riichi gives 1 han, plus random bonuses via [[ippatsu]], [[ura dora]], and/or [[mentsumo]]. If you're particularly lucky, a riichi-only hand can turn into 7900 points with riichi ippatsu mentsumo dora 1. Ideally, you should try to guarantee a comeback without any bonus han. However, if you have no reasonable way to do so, go for a riichi and hope you get enough points. At the same time, your opponents will be especially wary of a riichi in the last round, precisely because they don't want to lower their placement. | ||
In some niche cases, the 1000 point riichi bet is enough to drop you down placement. If you have another yaku, you should usually go dama. If you don't have a yaku, then riichi is still worthwhile if you have a good wait. Since the trailing player is only 1000 points behind, any win they make would be enough for you to drop down, so you should still try to win. | In some niche cases, the 1000 point riichi bet is enough to drop you down placement.
