I've been curious to find what image wins the most money at live games. Would you rather be pegged as a fish or very tight? What table would you like that image at.

I played at a pretty loose table and did a couple of stupid things early to give myself the fish table image. It worked pretty well. But that goes against the adage of playing loose at a tight table and tight at a loose table.
