fake tilt

can it be a good thing if the table thinks you're mad/tilting?
An example below , in hand 1 villain abuses disconnect protect and I decide to use it to my advantage. Got pretty abusive towards him, pushed all-in pre-flop nesxt hand (no callers) etc.. I figured it would help me get a stack later, and shortly afterwards hand 2 happened...

One of my favorite situations is when you get AA on the very next hand after taking a bad beat.

They can't be thinking anything OTHER than tilt, can they?

Once had a major bad beat, next hand got aces, hand after got kings, pushed both times faking tilt, got no callers tho, both $25 cash games

I wouldn't take fake tilt too far above 25nl. At $50+ players tend to be a bit more sensible and are more aware of how non-optimal their move might seem (and might be if they get it wrong), and also, fewer players open push (and fewer players call).

I've tried it a few times and not really had much joy. However, one time I was playing £50nl against a hyper-maniac who was open pushing a lot and had, the hand before, lost over a buyin open-pushing some crap. Next hand he did the same and I was siting in the BB with AQs. However, effective stacks were over 200bb, and I tanked for 29 secs before folding.

The SB, however, had called for like £5 so we saw a showdown. Not only did lunatic have junk - K8 if I remember rightly - but the flop came xQQ. Would have been my biggest pot EVER if I'd had the balls to call.

They have to be aware enough to think you might be tilting, but not aware enough to realise you are probably faking it. Thats a pretty small window. Not only that but most of the fairly low stakes fish dont have the balls to call with slightly weak holdings when people are pushing every hand anyway.

There is no such thing as table image at the microstakes

You have to push about 20 hands in a row for people to start noticing

Gotta table chat it up.
