Default Re: Interesting Hand from WPT Aruba

I like the move, takes a lot of guts and I think is a winning strategy.
The only real drawback would be if you got called, won the hand (which is not as unlikely as some seem to assume) and then had to stay at the table for awhile. You'd have to adjust your game to your radically changed image and that would not be easy (well it's the kind of thing that isn't easy for me anyway).

That would be the perfect image. They would have no clue what to think of me. I am tight, but I risk all my chips with J9s?! I play one hand every 30 minutes, but it's a bluff? What do I do when I get a real hand?! They would have no clue how to play against me.

I certianly don't make plays like this very often, so if they start getting suspicious of my big all-ins, that's great for me.

I may not be as experienced as you are Justin, but I do love the impression that you can put on people when your playing history at the table speaks for itsself (1 hand every 30 minutes or so). This tight image can confuse players greatly, and the confusion will generally create fear in them, I can get the same kind of respect when I push all in at the casinos as well, even if I do have a semi-marginal hand people will be too confused to call or feel way behind if they do.
