* The [[Defense#When_to_defend|push/fold decision]] changes radically. E.g. having a mangan [[iishanten]] isn't as powerful as it is in 4 player. In general, each tile is more likely to deal in, and hands are more valuable.

Since mangan+ hands are more common in sanma, dama is also more common. In addition, since [[ron]] is comparatively more valuable than [[tsumo]], dama's ability to ron an unsuspecting player is stronger.
