SBR is much more offensive than riichi mahjong. With such high noten penalties, it is always recommended to try to keep tenpai (or at least, advance towards it). If you give up tenpai, you'll just have to pay it back at the exhaustive draw. Trying to hold a tile from the excluded suit is always risky and almost never recommended. Due to those reasons, and because [[furiten]] is not enabled, defense is much weaker than usual.

There is no score penalty towards opening your hand. Therefore, triplets are more powerful, and [[shanpon]] waits become more common.

A hand using sequences rarely scores yaku. The only yaku that allow sequences are chinitsu, junchan, root, and the other bonus yaku.

Still, keeping sequences will let your hand develop faster, thus allowing you to escape payment from others. Plus, even a yakuless tsumo is worth 6000 points if nobody has won yet.
