When you first sit down at the table, get your coat off, get your chips stacked, watch the play while waiting for the blinds to pass, and finally take your first hand...it's 7 2 , and you muck in turn. Then, as happens a lot, you get crap for the next 5 hands, nothing to play. Finally, you are in LP, get a pair of fours, make a weak limp and fold to two raises. Then, three more crap hands in the muck.Now, the whole table has you as a tight player. When you raise with KK in MP, every body folds. Nobody will give you much action. It's worse if you get one caller, and have to show it down, then they really put you as a player that only plays with a hand.Do you ever jump in early on and play a crap hand just to advertise? With a weak flop, and one or two other players, it shouldn't cost much to be able to showdown bottom pair, or K high that may pay off later.Whata ya think?

I always post my blind at a new table unless 'm UTG.ALWAYS!,, it helps get that tight ass image off.and dont play crap just for table image. Best idea is just be the friendly guy who doesnt play many pots. you'll stil get lots of action, and some wil respect you enough which can help to pick up smaller pots when you really didnt have a hand at all

Welcome to the forum. I don't play many cash games, but during a recent deepstack on stars, I went nuts in the first level, showing down complete crap like 7/5 on a bluff, raising like 40% of pots pre-flop etc.This left me a little short-stacked, but now with this super loose image, I quickly double up with two pair, and got an insane amount of action with AA.I was in perfect position to have a massive chip lead, but my AA got drawn out by QJs. And I was out a little later with AK vs A6.Anyways, advertising can bring you alot of extra chips, but you have use it correctly. Like if you establish that loose image, then you gotta nut-peddle for a long time.

I really do not care what the players think about my style. In the game I play (1-2 NL), I could wait for just aces or kings and still get action. Case in point, couple of weeks ago I was playing with this girl for a couple hours and she came out and told me I was the tightest player she knew. About an hour later I pick up pocket queens, make it $20 to go and she calls the rest of her stack with king-queen, and I took the rest of her money.So in that particular game no matter how tight you may seem, people will give you action most of the time. That is just my opinion, based on my experience.

In lots of cash games I play crap hands all the time anyway. swIf you want some advice on table image check out this link:http://planetstacked...om/fillmaff.wmv
