Other than that the take-away from your post should be that WHATEVER your table image may be you need to be aware of it and adjust accordingly.

What I find especially interesting about this process is figuring out the starting point, i.e., the general tenor of whatever game you're playing, be it 20/40 on Party or 1/2 on Paradise. Figuring out what the "default" is -- and, similarly, how others will probably perceive you before they get a read on you -- is an interesting challenge in and of itself.

What I'd like to do in this thread is try to hammer out some specifics. It's easy to say 'be aware of your table image', much more difficult to describe exactly what that means, and how one adjusts.
