Double riichi's greatest advantage, aside from its speed, is the lack of information regarding [[safe tiles]]. Initially, every tile is considered to be dangerous, as no to few discarded tiles show any indication of safe tiles.

If you have nothing better, then [[honor tiles]] are the best to discard. Since honor tiles cannot form [[Shuntsu|sequences]], they are the least likely to be a winning tile. Guest winds are better than yakuhai as they do not give an extra han.

After a few discards, you can benefit from the [[furiten]] rule. When a player is in riichi, any discarded tile not claimed for a win is safe against that riichi. Therefore, safe tiles will rack up quickly.

The threat of double riichi can also be ended via  [[Tochuu ryuukyoku|abortive draw]]. [[Kyuushu kyuuhai]] can immediately end the hand before the declarer can claim tsumo, as can suufon renta.
