Table Image Theory: Representing a Maniac
So I got to thinkin' last night while smoking the peace pipe..
Has anyone tried the strategy, upon joining a table (I think this would work better for 6-max) you come out firing, 2 hands in a row, maybe 3 if necessary (or 1 hand apart, but short enough to show you are an aggressive maniac). so anyway, lets say 3 of the first 5-6 hands you come out firing, raise preflop, c-bet the flop, c-bet the turn if necessary and show absolute junk when folded around. you do this 2-3 times to make sure the table is paying attention to you now, and then you immediately tighten up, no questions asked. then you play pretty tight (pocket pairs and better mostly) and only really bet the flop when you hit something.
I'm interested to see if anyone regularly uses this and if it actually works. People hate being thrown off of pots when they have the better hand, and if you show them you just stole with junk 2-3 times in a row, i think people will start gunning for you and calling you down with tpwk or mpgk. There could be some real value in this. i've never really tried it out but it just dawned on me last night and I think I'll give it a try sometime soon.
