Obviously not Bart, but I think part of the reason why you shouldn't look to see 6-man tables live -- at least with any semblance of regularity -- is that the house needs to make X dollars per table per hour in order to make the obscene profit that they are accustomed to making.

I'd love it ... but I don't see it happening.

I see, good point.

And you should really give 6-max a shot Bart.

Ways to improve your table image:

1. Order a drink.
2. Ask your neighbor if you can order him a drink so that you can get around the 1-drink/player rule.

NH...Also, you could ask the dealer what they would like to drink.

If you are looking for great action to come your way simply dress correctly. I find that knee length shorts, non matching shirt, big thick glasses, and calf high white socks with sandals do wonders for creating a very nice image. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

Heh, thanks.

[Barretboy]

The thick glasses with the little palm trees on the side.

[MikeyPatriot]

While they were talking about AT/J7, I openraised J7 suited on the button and flopped top and bottom two pair and stacked the BB. J7 > AT

[Stagemusic]

Naw,

Palm Trees are overkill...however, if you can find a nice John Deere hat, that would work.

[easternbloc]

if you wear an LAA hat and a dale jr. shirt people at the bike might mistake you for the donk from last night

[Barretboy]

What I was asking before was essentially, do you want to have a good or bad image at first. I suppose having a bad table image at first, maybe raising the first 3 or 4 hands would really loosen the table up and make you seem more like a fish. From there you could slow it down a bit and take advantage of a crappy image.

Things not to do:

Sit down.

Pull out your massive binder that reads: POKER WINNINGS - 2006

Flip to the appropriate page.

Pull out your rule and draw a sharp line across the graph paper.

Ask your neighbor for the date AND the time -- if the time he gives you is an approximate time (i.e. "it's about half-past eight...") reply, "EXACT time, buddy, I need to calculate my precise winrate here!"

Write down every single hand that you do anything. Copious notes = fun table.

Ask everyone if they can take a little less time to make decisions: "C'mon, fellas, I'm expecting to earn 2.2 BB/hour but at this rate, I'm gonna fall .3 short."

Make sure to use jargon as much as possible. If someone doesn't know the action, reply, "I min-raised You-Tee-Gee and the cut-off cold-called."
