In the event that an opponent declares before you have melded your hand, it may be counterproductive to hold onto a large number of cards in the hopes of cretalking sattaating multiple sets or sequences. In order to minimize the chance of being caught with unmelded cards at the end of the game, try to keep your hand size balanced and flexible. You'll be able to adjust your strategy as the game goes on and react to your opponents' moves with effectiveness thanks to this balance.
