-'''Sakigiri''' is the act of discarding tiles before they become dangerous.  With each tile draw and discard, the game's conditions are constantly changing.  Most of the time, players may possess winning tiles for other players in the hand.  They must either be used for the hand, discarded in time, or simply kept in the hand.
+'''Sakigiri''' is the act of discarding tiles before they become dangerous, usually at a cost of [[tile efficiency|hand speed]].
+Often, a player will receive at least one tile that another player could win with. Sometimes, you might get a "winning" tile before an opponent reaches tenpai. By discarding dangerous tiles before opponents reach tenpai, you don't deal in. You can also use those tiles in your hand, or, when opponents are in tenpai, [[betaori|fold]] by never dealing said tiles. This technique is best done if you don't need to win, e.g. you are far away from others in point standings.
