+'''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 said "winning" tiles before an opponent reaches tenpai. So 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.
