The wait pattern involves waiting for a single tile.
The wait pattern involves waiting for a single tile.  In doing so, the hand is looking to complete the pair, while the rest of the hand is completed.

'''Nakabukure''' {{kana|中膨れ}} is a type of pair wait.  Here, the middle tile is duplicated in a [[shuntsu|sequence]].  So, the waiting tile is that single duplicated tile.  With two of the tiles of that type in hand, this gives the wait one less tile to wait for compared to a regular tanki.  An alternate term, '''harabote''' {{kana|腹ボテ}}, may be used, but it is also an inappropriate term.

===Multiple===
{{main|Nobetan|Sanmen nobetan}}
Normally, the tanki wait is on a single tile.  However, it is possible for a hand to have multiple tanki waits, aligned with [[suji]].  The two patterns, [[Nobetan]] and [[Sanmen nobetan]], are extended tanki waits.  This is possible because they are appended to a [[Shuntsu|sequential pattern]].  Yet, the hand is still needing a pair to complete.

==Usage==
==Value==
By default, the tanki wait counts for 2 [[fu]].  If the pair happens to be counted as "yakuhai tiles", then an additional 2 fu is applied.  If the hand wins by self-draw (tsumo), then the hand gets an additional 2 fu for that.

Tanki, or single tile, is best used when seeking to win off of a player's discard.  While the number of waiting tiles is limited to a maximum of three, the pattern has its uses.  It's greatest strength stems from its ability to select any tile as a waiting tile, barring any tile limitations applied by certain yaku.  Often enough, this pattern may confuse players; and even traps, like [[suji]] traps, may be employed.  Not even [[kabe]] may be applicable.  Waits involving honor tiles, especially when one is discarded, is actually powerful, because players may believe those tiles are actually [[defense|safe tiles]].  All-in-all, this pattern is best used to counter or bait players, who are looking to defend.
Tanki, or single tile, is best used when seeking to win off of a player's discard.  Under any circumstance, the wait pattern waits for at maximum three remaining tiles of the same tile type. Under any means, it is never waiting for another tile type.  It's greatest strength stems from its ability to select any tile as a waiting tile, barring any tile limitations applied by certain yaku.  This pattern may confuse players; and even traps, like [[suji]] traps, may be employed.  Not even [[kabe]] may be applicable.  Waits involving honor tiles, especially when one is discarded, is actually powerful, because players may believe those tiles are actually [[defense|safe tiles]].  This is especially true with hands involving jigoku, or hell waits.  All-in-all, this pattern is best used to counter or bait players, who are looking to defend.
