>A honitsu in the dora suit can easily be mangan and constitutes a threat. The chance it has other honours is high as well, cutting Haku or Hatsu and having them called can kill your own hand in the blink of an eye.
TN: I'll repost the sample hand from last page again.
>11m2378p223678s56z dora 3s
>In this example we have to commit to using the dora and cut 2s.
>There's no chi in sanma, so cutting 2s here can save you. Cutting honours first, having them ponned and then dealing in with 2s is the worst case scenario.
>This is what I mean when I say think of your opponents the same way you think of your toimen in sanma.
>It's fine to cut Haku and Hatsu when your hand advances, and if it doesn't then you can deny the honitsu opponent more honour calls and discard the 1m pair instead.
>Keep in mind that denying honours is not important enough for you to force your own hand to be as slim* as possible. It's common for opponents to call from a hand with bad shapes, in which case cutting honours before he can call them is also an option. Your reads are important here.

TN: Most regulars know this already but I might as well explain again just in case. A "slim" hand is one where you sacrifice some acceptance in favour of safety, for example keeping a twice discarded guest wind over 3s in a 334s shape.
