i notice that live players tend to fold top pair hands very often when they are under constant pressure and face a few big bets. So we should use our tight clean image to our advantage and occasionally throw out some outrageous 2/3 barrel bluffs against normal players other than the loosest calling stations.

You know what they think of you. I think exploiting that is far easier than trying to build a new image. When someone calls you something, ANYTHING at the table, run with it. If someone else says it, it's more credible than any crazy series of plays you could come up with that won't spew more value than they'd be worth.

Ahh Wisdom in the highest... shot mate. There is one guy at the local casino that has SUCH tight image... I can't believe he isn't stealing pots all over the show... like seriously he minraises from 5 to ten and you put him on a set!
I find the most profitable thing is having a loose image, overbetting the flop and getting shoved on REAL light

It's possible to make money in a casino with any image. Focusing on acquiring a loose image doesn't seem like a top priority. I have played many sessions at live 5/10+ where I make 400 BB+ without a showdown.
Because each game and group of players is different, there is no blanket method for beating them. It's possible with any image if you adjust your play accordingly; the bad players will still call or fold too often and to win it is your job to allow them the opportunity to do that.
It is easily possible (probably not optimal) to beat live games playing 15/11.
