Default Re: How do you establish a loose image?

I sometimes do this is LHE:

I'm in the blind and a player in late position raises. Since a lot of players will make this play with any two high cards or a small pair, I'm usually not much of a dog no matter what I hold. Plus I'm getting 3.5 to 1 on the call for a heads-up flop.

I'll call with any suited cards hoping to flop a flush draw or two pair. I'll reraise with a decent hand. If I miss the flop I fold - with a minimal loss; if I win the hand I always show.

Sometimes I'll get berated for being a fish by the original raiser. This is obviously because that players has an inadequate understanding of position and play from the blinds. If this happens, do not explain why your play was reasonable - just agree that you are a fish.

You should get good action on your premium hands for some time after.
