Sekinin barai: Difference between revisions

'''Sekinin barai''' {{kana|責任払い}}, or the rule of '''pao''' {{kana|パオ}}, forces a player whose discard is used to form an apparent [[yakuman]] to be liable for partial or full payment if the yakuman-holder wins. It is generally used for yakuman hands only, but certain rules also invoke pao for [[rinshan kaihou]]. Only certain types of yakuman are affected by this rule, which will depend on the ruleset.
