Table image and cards

[mikewpu04]

This is one of my questions I have for live play. I have played in about 15 or 16 live sessions, and in my last one I only brought 100 bucks with me so I sat down to 2/4.

We only had 7 or 8 players. This one older guy (who would not shut the hell up) kept hitting card after card. He'd bet a 4 flush and hit it pot after pot. I on the other hand was very card dead. After almost 30 hands, the highest I had was a pair of 4s!

He took notice of my bad run and decided to make me the donk. I simply responded with a look saying, don't worry when I get a hand your money is mine. Sure enough I took him down for a big pot with a set of 10s. I did lose about half my buy-in, because I air-balled about 95% of the flops I saw.

My question is...how do you get away from a bad table image when your card dead and everyone knows it?
