Re: Does name recognition have any + or - value??
I consider being recognized at the table to be - (and to be able to recognize my opponents +.)
The more you know about someone, the better able you are to read them. "Typical 2+2er" and "Typical $1/2 player" are two pretty different default categories to be put it when I play my first hand against you, and one is a lot closer to the truth than the other.
More generally, there isn't such a thing as a "good" or a "bad" table image to have -- a table image that reflects how you really play can be costly, because it means people are defending properly against you; a misleading table image is helpful.
