Default Re: An Unfortunate Asymmetry

It's always good for you when people don't know how you play, whether you be loose or tight.

However, loose players are generally giving up some value making some slightly -EV plays in order to establish an image so they can put the table on tilt & get paid off later. When they get moved, they lose all that value they've paid for. Rocks, OTOH can benefit from being unknown if they move to a table and happen to pick up a big hand before their nitty image is established. It's very rare/stupid for a rock to intentionally make a -EV play to advertise just how tight they are and set their opponent up for future bluffs.

p.s. this is getting off topic.
