There's no kanchan, so the acceptance is slightly worse than a nobetan. However, the ryanmen acceptance is still about twice that of normal floating tiles. Because this shape nearly guarantees 2 ryanmen when used, it's great if you're going for [[pinfu]]. The chance for [[iipeikou]] also helps. If you already have all ryanmens, there's not much need to keep the bulging shape intact (discard the middle tile).

Note: It's good to have a pair when you have a bulging shape. Also, like the nobetan, this shape becomes much worse if it contains a terminal tile.
