You could upgrade the hand to a two-sided or better wait with: {{#mjt: 14m235679p2356s}}, which is up to 48 tiles. Of course, this number is reduced for every opponent discard, so keep note of that. As the round progresses, you should be more willing to riichi; you don't have as much time to wait for an upgrade. | You could upgrade the hand to a two-sided or better wait with: {{#mjt: 14m235679p2356s}}, which is up to 48 tiles.

Also, the hand lock prevents you from defending, which is arguably the biggest risk of riichi. Often, the reward is worth the risk.
