-The two yaku [[ittsuu]] and [[sanshoku]] are not compatible, because the hand does not have enough [[Mentsu|tile groupings]] to accommodate both yaku.  In turn, this forces players to choose one over the other in the event both are viable during the course of a hand.
-== Value ==
+[[Ittsuu]] and [[sanshoku doujun]] are similar but incompatible [[yaku]], because hand does not have enough [[mentsu|space]] for both yaku. When a hand has the potential to score one or the other, a player must choose which to aim for.
-When closed or open, both produce the same amount of han: one while open, or two while closed.  Therefore, the value question is somewhat irrelevant.  The balance then stems on the other [[Yaku compatibility|yaku combinations]].  In the case of [[tanyao]], then sanshoku may be favored as ittsuu utilizes [[routouhai|terminals]].
-== Frequency difference ==
+==Formation==
-According to monthly data in [[Tenhou.net]], sanshoku occurs a little more than double than ittsuu.  This is due to the wider number range across the three suits rather than depending on an entire 1-9 sequence of one suit.
+Ittsuu and sanshoku require 3 specific sequences. They are both worth 2 han closed, and 1 han open.
+However, according to monthly data in [[Tenhou.net]], sanshoku is around twice as frequent as ittsu. This is due to a few reasons:
+*It is easier to make a 345 sequence than a 123 sequence. To make 345, a player can have {34, 35, 45} in hand. To make 123, a player can only have {12, 23} in hand.
+*Players prefer middle tiles over terminals for [[tile efficiency]] reasons. This means they are more likely to have a 34 or 45 [[ryanmen]] than a 12 [[penchan]] or 23 ryanmen. Thus, it is easier to "incedentially" form sanshoku than it is
+Also, sanshoku is compatible with [[tanyao]] and [[chanta]]/[[junchan]], while ittsu is compatible with [[honitsu]]/[[chinitsu]].
