Re: Tighty-whitey\'s downward spiral.
in my experience, the best way to get a crazy image without adding too many more hands is to play strong draws very agressively, reraise a bit more pf (especially against blind steals from loose players) and steal against continuation bets more (both in and oop with c/r).

Re: Tighty-whitey\'s downward spiral.
Set aside a couple of buyins from your ridiculous roll, go to a $25NL or $50NL 6 max table and play a 40/30 game for a while. Learn to at least break even. Now, when you're getting too much respect, you can slip into another gear for a couple of orbits and then switch back.

Re: Tighty-whitey\'s downward spiral.
Not sure I agree with everything said here, but I think one of the keys to playing a very tight style at SSNL is table selection. If you are at a table where there are 3+ loose passives, it is going to be very hard to have a hand that one of them won't pay you off with.
I'm tighter than you are actually, but I haven't run into the problem you state except when I play on sites to clear bonuses. The tight players will not pay you off. They know everyone else is tight, so when someone shows aggression, they back down with all but the best hands. I think table selection adds several bb/100, and when you have party poker...there is plenty of selection.

Re: Tighty-whitey\'s downward spiral.
Become self-conscious of your tightness.
Too much respect: You need to be able to go, "Oh, I haven't raised a hand since two orbits go, it's time to raise." Best done in LP. Do it with dubious holdings like suited two-gappers like J8s. If called, bet or reraise any flop as if you have a strong hand. You can sbow if they fold. Play draws more strongly, but less obviously. Too many people push on the flush draw, reraise it like you have a hand and want to build the pot. Reraise preflop with air, it scares them because they think you only do this with aces or kings. Getting played back at by bad players: This is great for when you hit. No complaint here. When it happens too often start being prepared to 3bet all-in with jacks or queens on the flop. I think being more chatty might help indirectly too. It makes you seem more active. Not just a rock who perks up everytime they're dealt a group 1 holding.
