Given these conditions, what kind of table image will you try to convey when you walk in and sit down at the 'away games'?

Don't walk in, limp. Wear a wig with long, stringy, black hair. Eat a large plate of garlic pasta just before you arrive. Dress in bright red pants with a tank top, bravely showing a freshly-applied set of fake prison tatoos. Wear mirrorshades. Buy in with four times the reasonable amount. Someone will smile at you and then you utter the first line out of your mouth (in a deep, gurgly voice): "I will steal your soul!" Look over your shoulder toward the railing and shout "Hey! How much for the women?...How much for the little girl?"
That'll work.

It also helps if you mention "I ain't played poker since I got outta the joint" and "I'm used to betting with cigarettes, these funny looking little chips are hard to get used to."
