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. |

I don't know, guys. I hve played low limits on UB before (one of the sites known for weakies, IMO), and they have even commented before when I have decided to take a flop, with things like "fold" before I decide, or "you're suppose to fold, lol" after I call or raise. I remember that one time in particular. It was a sitngo and not a word of a lie, I had missed the past 40 flops (my blinds were being raised), before I took a flop. Once they said that, I knew the rest of the table would note me as a tight player, and I ended up winning mainly by just stealing blinds the rest of the way in late position. Just shows that you gotta watch what you say, don't want to scare people off, but don't want to let someone know how they're playing, cause if they're smart, they will change that in a second.
