Re: Table Image (for your first appearance at a particular card room)
Remember, first of all, that your table image isn't what you intend to present to others, but what others at the table actually see in you.
If you know your way around a poker room, that will be obvious. Walking in wearing a WSOP T-shirt might make you look like one of those n00bs who wants to play the game they've been seeing on TV, but when you sit down and unconsciously start to one-handedly riffle a stack of chips, everyone will know you aren't a n00b.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it. You (say that you) are already doing well in Atlantic City. To the extent that all poker games are alike, what works in Atlantic City is going to work in Chicago. Your table image in Atlantic City is whatever it is. Do you know what it is, how it is that other players see you (as opposed to how you intend to present yourself)? Do you understand how your AC table image works to your advantage, and how it works to your disadvantage?
My advice to you is: take care of the sense of your game, and let the sounds take care of themselves.
