Because the 3 can be used in more types of sequences, it is more likely to be useful. Therefore, lone terminals/honors are often discarded first. Because terminals/honors are discarded early, hands may "naturally" form tanyao without the player needing any special effort. | Because the 3 can be used in more types of sequences, it is more likely to be useful.

It | It might be unwise to force tanyao. If you already have a 789, for instance, then you probably shouldn't break the sequence. However, if open tanyao is allowed, you may want to force tanyao if you need a fast hand (and the hand can be completed quickly). | ||

With open tanyao allowed, | With open tanyao allowed, this yaku becomes even faster to develop. While a tanyao-only hand is not worth much, it is often quick. If you need ''a'' win - e.g., to end the game faster, or to break a tie - then 1100 points may be all you need. In these cases, if tanyao is realistic, then call it. Depending on the hand, though, it may be faster to play [[yakuhai]] or (if the hand has completed groups with terminals) play closed. | ||
You may also wish to play open tanyao if you have multiple (2+) [[dora]]. In this case, dora provide value on their own; tanyao + 3 dora is already [[mangan]]. Therefore, with multiple dora, you should call to speed up the already-valuable hand. If the dora are closed within the hand, then there is the added deceptiveness of your hand being a cheap hand, when in reality this is not the case. | You may also wish to play open tanyao if you have multiple (2+) [[dora]].
