Drawing from the discard pile, for example, can be advantageous right away if it completes a meld or enhances the composition of your hand. Picking from the discard pile should be done carefully, though, as itsutta king could give opponents a hint about your intentions. Tension at the table may arise if you pick up a card that they intended to use for their own melds, which may cause them to alter their plan against you. Tossing cards, on the other hand, also needs careful thought; you want to make sure you are moving closer to your objectives while preventing opponents from getting cards that could help them finish their hands.
