'''Sakigiri''' is the act of discarding tiles before they become dangerous. | '''Sakigiri''' is the act of discarding tiles before they become dangerous. Usually, when sakigiri is mentioned, it comes at the cost of [[tile efficiency]] (hand speed). | ||
In general, tiles are safer when discarded earlier. After all, if an opponent isn't in [[tenpai]], you can't deal in. Sakigiri is discarding potentially-dangerous tiles early, even if those tiles would be useful to your hand. This technique is best used when you don't care about winning (e.g. you have a cheap hand, or you have a large lead). You could also use the tile as part of a [[mentsu|tile group]], or [[betaori|fold]] by never dealing said tiles. | |||

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. | 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. | ||
