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.

Re: How do you establish a loose image?
The blinds are a great spot to loosen up a little bit, as it costs less and you are making smaller mistakes by doing so.

Shouldn't position and other players come into play when you decide to 'run' a hand, rather than the cards you have? [/ QUOTE ] Players expect you to play more hands and make plays in position. Occassionally making plays out of position will help your image, be harder to read, and keep your opps guessing. Almost never try and run a hand vs. a calling station, and it's almost always good to consider running a hand against a conservative player who needs a big hand to play a big pot (no limit/pot limit).
