* Hand progress: At 2-[[shanten]] or higher, it is ''usually'' worth folding if able - tenpai is too far away. 1-shanten with poor acceptance is a similar story.
** [[Ukeire|Tile acceptance]] / [[wait]]s at tenpai: It's much better to attack if you have good waits (wait with >= 6 tiles remaining). Similarly, at 1-shanten, it's best to have strong tile acceptance.
