 '''Sakigiri''' is the act of discarding tiles before they become dangerous. When sakigiri is mentioned, it usually comes at the cost of [[tile efficiency]] (hand speed).
-Players will often receive at least one tile that another player could've won with. Sometimes, you can get those "winning" tiles before an opponent reaches tenpai. By discarding those tiles before opponent tenpai, it won't be dangerous. This technique is best done when you don't care about winning (e.g. you have a cheap hand). You could also use the tile in your hand, or [[betaori|fold]] by never dealing said tiles.

By discarding those tiles early, i.e. before any opponent reaches tenpai, you won't deal in. In general, when it is early in the round, tiles are less dangerous. Sakigiri is discarding these potentially dangerous tiles early, even when they are useful to your hand.

 Note: if a dangerous tile does nothing in your hand and cannot be used to improve hand waits, then you should discard that tile early, no matter which tile you have.
