*Allows your hand to complete faster. Sequences can be completed with twice the number of tiles (your draws, and the left opponent's discards). Triplets can be completed with four times the number of tiles (your draws, anyone else's discards). | *Allows your hand to complete faster.

**Can allow you to confirm a yaku. [[Yakuhai]], for instance, are hard to complete without calling pon. | |||
**Can allow you to complete a hand you otherwise wouldn't have completed at all. If you have 12-man, and the last 3-man is discarded, you must either call or not complete the sequence. | **Can allow you to complete a hand you otherwise wouldn't have completed at all.

In order for a hand to win, it must have at least one yaku. Closed hands can always call riichi, but open hands need something else. [[Tanyao]] and [[yakuhai]] are the easiest/most common of the open yaku. Other common candidates include [[sanshoku doujun]], [[ittsu]], [[honitsu]], and [[toitoi]]. | In order for a hand to win, it must have at least one yaku.

A hand with an unconfirmed yaku may end up in [[atozuke]], a state where your hand only has yaku when it wins off a certain tile. For example, a tanyao-only hand with a 78 wait can only win with a 6, since 9 ruins tanyao. This can lead to [[furiten]] if you draw the wrong winning tile. | A hand with an unconfirmed yaku may end up in [[atozuke]], a state where your hand only has yaku when it wins off a certain tile.
