** For example, in a 135-pin shape, keeping the 5-pin is normally good. However, if 3/4 of the 4-pin have been discarded, the 5-pin only adds 1 tile of acceptance. This makes 5p a dangerous tile that contributes little to the hand, so sakigiri 5-pin. | ** For example, in a 135-pin shape, keeping the 5-pin is normally good.

* [[Situational analysis]]: Your placement and the current round # are important factors for sakigiri. When far in the lead and in the late game, prefer to sakigiri, since it can be afforded. Conversely, when winning is the #1 priority (e.g. last when late in the game), don't lose out on efficiency. | * [[Situational analysis]]: Your placement and the current round # are important factors for sakigiri.
