Table Image - Live Cash Games

    What kind of image do people feel more comfortable playing with in live cash games? Loose Aggressive (LAG) or Tight Aggressive (TAG)?

    I am not talking about your actual style of play here, but your image / perception at the table.

    I'm quite a loose cash game player, and usually try to establish a tight image to conteract this. However sometimes the table have realised this, and I've found it hard to take down pots and am forced to play tight (which I don't like!) and get bored. So to address these situations, has anyone any cunning tricks / moves to take advantage of a Loose image?


    Have also found that your image can change really quickly based on one hand. If everybody watches a controversial hand, or somebody makes a comment like “nah…. I’ll fold… he usually has the goods when he raises”. People at the table will adjust their play based accordingly

    Another question...

    Its so easy to destroy a tight image (just show one bluff). However its very difficult to shake off a loose image.

    Any tips for shaking off the loose image and establishing a tight one? (besides sitting there for hours and ACTUALLY playing tight ;))

    i just love that - i'd usually play very, very tight but be super aggressive when getting involved in a pot; but after a while, after building up a tight image, i would often make a nice continuation bet, and cos of my image take the pot down on the flop (the usual story - Anna Kournikova never hits for me on the flop). after doing this for a while, i'd change tack and show my 2,7o pre-flop raise taking it down after the flop - they're all mad to get involved with you after that and I can go back to my tight play guaranteed to get action the next time i play (with the nuts of course:D )
