In English, pinfu is sometimes referred to as "all sequences".  However, the yaku is not as simple as that.  Other than having an open hand, it is possible for a hand to be composed of all sequences and still not be classed as a pinfu.  The following examples are a "all sequence hands"; but they are not pinfu.

*1. {{#mjt:23m123p678s345m11z}}  Agari: {{#mjt:1m}} or {{#mjt:4m}}
{{machi
Pair East wind disqualifies the hand as pinfu, when in East round or for the dealer.
|pattern    = 23m123p678s345m11z
*2. {{#mjt:123456p789m567s3m}}  Agari: {{#mjt:3m}}
|tilewaits  = 14m
[[Tanki]] (pair wait) disqualifies this hand as pinfu.
|wait status = Agari
*3. {{#mjt:23m123p678s345m55z}}  Agari: {{#mjt:1m}} or {{#mjt:4m}}
}}
The [[Sangenpai|dragon pair]] does not qualify this hand as pinfu.
The pair of east winds disqualifies the hand as pinfu for the dealer or for any player in the east round.
*4. {{#mjt:123m234s79s22567p}} Agari: {{#mjt:8s}}
 
The [[machi|kanchan]] (closed wait) does not qualify this hand as pinfu.
{{machi
*5. {{#mjt:456m678p123s34p44z}} Agari: {{#mjt:2p}} or {{#mjt:5p}}
|pattern    = 123456p789m567s3m
This may qualify for pinfu for all players, except for the [[Jikaze|player sitting north]].
|tilewaits  = 3m
|wait status = Agari
}}
The [[tanki|pair wait]] disqualifies this hand as pinfu.
 
{{machi
|pattern    = 23m123p678s345m55z
|tilewaits  = 14m
|wait status = Agari
}}
The [[sangenpai|dragon pair]] does not qualify this hand as pinfu.
 
{{machi
|pattern    = 123m234s79s22567p
|tilewaits  = 8s
|wait status = Agari
}}
The [[kanchan|middle wait]] does not qualify this hand as pinfu.
 
{{machi
|pattern    = 456m678p123s3456p
|tilewaits  = 36p
|wait status = Agari
}}
Although the wait is still two tiles 3 apart, the winning tile can only be used to complete a pair, and so this will be a pair wait and hence fail to qualify for pinfu.
