Default Re: How do you switch gears when you\'re losing (and losing table respect)?

[ QUOTE ]
If this is online and the game I'm in is not spectacularly good, I've started switching tables in this situation. Within five minutes I can be playing in another equally good game and start with a clean slate, so that is an easier option than trying to compensate for your table image problems.

However, it is important to notice when you really are "losing table respect" and when that is just you projecting your frustration onto your opponents who haven't noticed or adjusted at all.

Excellent points, and one that it's hard to tell which is the case. However, I am a B&M player, so leaving the game usually means quitting for the day or dropping down in limits. Also, I think at a B&M table, it's more obvious who's been raking the pots and who's been getting beat.
