Image.

Image is a two sided coin at SSNL. Vs the vast majority of opponents you will encounter at SSNL, image is meaningless and no one really ever pays attention.

However, VS. some of the better opponents, if your not taking your image into consideration you are losing money in one way or another.

For instance, if you have a really aggressive and loose image, you can effectively be valuetowning your marginal hands on the river vs observant opponents. Obviously, that is a very basic and general example.

Continuing...

If you have a nitty image, and you suspect another regular has been 3betting you very light, you can play back at them a lot more frequently and technically be re stealing lots of pots whether it be pre or post flop.

Again, a very basic and general example, but you can see how by just auto piloting folding you are giving up too much? when based ony our image you can certainly understand why they are picking on you?

While both those examples are very basic and not very important in the grand scheme of things, hopefully it will get you thinking about in general how you can use your table image to your advantage.

Continuing...

Its important to keep track of your constantly evolving image. Lets say you have started to play back vs people who are 3betting you light and pushing you around and they have been for the most part allowing you to re-run them over. You need to be aware of this and adjust accordingly.

Again, hopefully, this will just get you in the mind set of looking for situaions where you can use your image to your advantage, and also for situations where you need to be weary of the image you have cultivated recently.
