Default Re: Thinking about Shania progression.

I don't think planning this is such a good idea. Let me explain.

For you to establish such a tight, pushover image, you would have needed the correct hands. Obviously, if you are dealt AA and KK twice each, and they all win in the first three rounds at a table, you won't be able to establish that image. Unless, you plan on folding big winners for meta-game reasons [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]. So, given that, you would need to blank a few flops and fold some hands that are likely to be losing first.

Then, after that happens, and your image is established, you still need everything to be conditionally right.

You have this pushover image and you can no longer blank flops with AK, AJ, KQs, etc. because 22,33 and the like will be calling you down more often than usual. So, you will need to have something with larger showdown value in order for your image to work for you. Also, you have to hope all the players who you've just gained an impression of you STAY at the table. This seems like too much of a parlay to spend all that time planning an image.

The key to success here is to remember who thinks what about you in all given situations and to act accordingly afterwards; take their stats into consideration and make the necessary adjustments. But, by all means, don't try to plan this ahead of time. The cards will get in your way and you'll wind up blaming bad luck when it all goes wrong.
