Creating a Muck Strategy for Multi-Table Tournaments

A good muck strategy means knowing when to stay silent and when it’s okay to speak with your cards

In multi-table poker tournaments (MTTs), having a solid muck strategy is more important than many players realize. Mucking refers to discarding your cards without revealing them after folding or winning a hand without a showdown. It may seem like a small part of the game, but how and when you muck your cards can influence your table image and protect your long-term tournament strategy.
