Deliberately making enemies online

[eddo31]

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.

ive never seen this happen on partypoker... ive seen my friends do it to people in real life games with some success, but online.... its funny that someone would attempt that.

It takes an attemptive crowd to pick up your table image, especially online...which you dont have at low limit online games. At higher limits? Sure, go for it.

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.
