I've seen this done a number of times. They key is to follow through with it. some players have too much pride and eventually admit what they are doing, which ruins it.
I've tried it a few times myself with mixed results. It goes against my general personality, so I don't really like it.... but you do get more aaction. That's for sure. People will be gunning for you. |

If you're tight all the time, people will catch on and everyone will get out of your way= no chips. If they immediately see you as a maniac, it is hard for them to change that perception.

Against good players that's true. But I play in a B&M, straight 2 limit, and I play tight. You would be amazed at the people you get calling you, even though they know damn well that if I'm in the pot, I've got to have a better starting hand than them. I mean, you're flopping the nut flush and you've got 3 people calling you down to the river.
It's amazing how people do not pick up on your "style" at the lower limits. |

The strategy might work, but low-mid limits it is absolutely not needed. The general crowd in those games wont notice one bit if you play tighter than a little schoolgirl. So why waste the money playing like a maniac and then try to make it back when you could just start out by making money, and then winning some more?

this strategy definitely works.
i havent really done it online, but i assume that with player notes people will definitely pick up on it. in a b&m this works really well for me. if i drink slowly at the table, people will assume that because i am a young male who is drinking, that i am going to be playing substandard hands, and they make some really bad calls. creating a favoravle table image can be very beneficial wherever you play. |
