 ===Mawashi uchi===
-'''Mawashi uchi''' is a half-way style. A player will aim to discard relatively safe tiles while still aiming for tenpai.  Discardable tiles include honors, suji tiles and no-chance kabe tiles. From this state a player may fall back to betaori upon drawing dangerous tiles, or attack when reaching tenpai. This style is not recommended for beginners due to requiring strong push/fold judgement (it is easy to discard recklessly, claiming it's "mawashi"). It is most appropriate to use when in a good shape iishanten for a strong hand.

+Generally, a player in mawashi is willing to discard suji-level tiles (suji, no-chance kabe, once-discarded honors) and safer, though this can vary based on the situation. If a more dangerous tile is drawn, and the hand cannot be adjusted to maintain [[1-shanten]], the player will often have to decide to betaori or start fully attacking.
