I absolutely agree that when a person who plays less than five hands
voluntarily per hour enters a pot, you know they have a strong hand.
Whether they are doing the muck-and-dash or sitting at the table, is
irrelevant. All the muck-and-dash does is make it more obvious. So
I suppose if you are not all that observant, you would have no idea
that the guy had been folding darn near every hand unless he wasn't
present at the table anymore. At any rate, the muck-and-dash doesn't
give any more information, it just SHOUTS the information. But of
course making this info more obvious so someone who wouldn't have
realized it otherwise, now picks up on it, is another cost of doing
this.
The only time the muck-and-dash gives MORE info then just muck-and-
sit is if a smoker plays tighter when they have a cigarette burning,
which is just bad poker to let that be a determining factor. I never
did that, but there are people who do. But from what I've seen the
people who play tighter just because they have a cigarette waiting
for them are normally tourists, drunk, or both. In which case their
poker is so bad anyway, the muck-and-dash is one of the smaller holes
in their game.
