It truly is the case that sanma is more analog than yonma. Yonma rarely has big point swings, riichis are generally worth a mangan, and the suji count rarely gets that low.
But in sanma, the bakyou is wildly different every time, 2 pei dora riichi makes any hand almost impossible to push, and the suji count can drop so low that you can have a 50% chance of dealing in with honors in the endgame. Folding even tenpai sanbaiman sanmenchan can happen.
Due to having only pinzu and souzu, and the fact that people tend to max out efficiency, hand reading is also far more applicable, to the point that matagi suji, ura suji, and aidayonken are now "real".
Ever since I'd been playing more neurotically and have based my push-fold / riichi-dama decisions more on the bakyou than an EV table, I've managed to dodge many deal-ins I'd have previously written off as unavoidable.
