Re: What\'s your table image?...And is mine a problem?
I end up with a tight table image. It can't be helped. When mostly everyone calls with 10-9 up and any two suited its difficult to stay camoflaged from observant players.
That's fine, though. I preflop raise, there will be callers despite my image, who will invariable play hit to win. I bet whether I make or miss the flop, and I'm mostly given credit for made hands, regardless. If the flop comes high, they think I hit. If it comes low, and I bet, they think I've got 10-10 or better. I play aggressively after the flop, and make that known, so I am pretty confident that whenever someone plays back I am behind. I then fold. I show very few hands, compared to the other players, and I always tell them I had a made hand. Most people associate pre-flop tightness with cheapness or timidity so they think you don't bluff, and you get credit for hands you shouldn't.
If I do get caught with my hand in the cookie jar (a very rare event) I will stop the bet any hand routine for about a hour and we go back to the same script.
Lather, rinse, repeat. Profit.
