Raising with weak hands to establish a loose table idenity

Mirandamary · 06-01-2005, 03:36 AM

I do this sometimes beacuse all the guys and the table will think im some dumb girl that doesnt know how to play and i am giving away money. Then i tighten up and alot of times get payed off by some ace highs or weak hands

i am right with you on that one, i will do the same thing occasionally...doesnt work all the time, but its nice to switch it up sometimes

I usually muck my cards, but on occasion will show them when I did call/ raise with a weak hand. I do this to reinforce the original point - loose play. What happens is that the players begin to see your crazy play and do not respect you. That is when you burn them. This is especially fun when playing at a real table with your buds, although they will catch after a few games!

I agree with that 100 percent. If u show 2 or 3 hands that make u seem like u play loosly then you will get more callers later on bigger hands

establishing a table image is very important, but the key is not to get pegged on one style
you have to mix it up.

I really agree with that play style i have to say it's a tricky one.

thats not a bad idea. what i do alot is check when i have a really good good. like say i have pocket jacks, and then a jack comes on the flop. Ill just check so everyone thinks i have nothing. then when i go all in at the end people call me cuz they dont think i have anything. but i do!
