No Limit Texas Hold'em Tips - How to Make Money Playing Poker by Creating a Profitable Table Image
Creating the proper table image when playing poker is a skill that is often times very profitable for many players provided they can pull off the acting and dramatization that is required. Truthfully, it doesn't take much to get the players at your table thinking you are a donkey who doesn't know how to play Texas Hold'em very well.
In fact, just by showing a few hands of weak cards that make it look like you're a moron or at the very least an unskilled and slow card player who will pass or "Donk" their chips away at some point in the game will set you up to take down a bigger and more profitable pot later on when someone assumes you have a weak hand when you are actually holding a monster.
If you can successfully establish the table image of a poor player your opponents will loosen their playing hand requirements against you allowing you to face them when they are holding weaker cards. This will present you with the opportunity to take down some huge pots based on their playing mistakes. This strategy works particularly well when you have a large chip stack and in most cash games but if you are playing in a tournament with a low amount of starting chips you may want to hold off wasting chips in trying to set a loose table image and instead focus on a more traditional approach of playing tight.
The best way to use this method is to find players that are actually loose and like to raise a lot to include re-raising you to the point where it's too expensive to play through to the river. At this point you should reveal to them you weak holdings in order to begin to establish your image as a poor Texas Hold'em player. This will open some doors for you in the middle and later stages of a tournament or cash game when you can start to really confuse your opponents by showing premium hands while simultaneously taking their money.
