>A hand like 99m234778p34s777z, which has no useless tiles, has good acceptance and can easily call. It's easy to reach tenpai with it.

>Look at this 2shanten hand. It can be played in mainly two different ways. Option one is to cut 89s, which fixes which blocks we'll use. Let's call this 5 block style. Option two is to cut 3s from 334s, which leaves us with 6 blocks, and we don't yet know which block we'll cut in the future. Let's call this the 6 block style*.
>The advantage of 5 block style here is that 334s has the option to pon. Iishanten will have a good shape and should quickly morph into tenpai. While 2shanten, we can hold one or two safe tiles as well.
>The merit of 6 block style is that it is wider, and we can more easily respond to the bakyou. It often confirms ryanmen shapes, making it easier to ron if that is the final wait as opponents may try to mawashi with a sotogawa tile.

TN: I'm sure everyone is familiar with the terminology of 5 blocks and 6 blocks, but I don't remember any specific terms for choosing to play a hand with X blocks, so I made up "X block style" here. If there's a commonly used term in the English texts available on mahjong please tell me and I'll use that instead.
