most profitable table image?
Going into a casino and sitting down at a table with a bunch of strangers, what do you think is the most profitable table image to have? Dress sloppy? Professional? I'm 21 so i could dress like a complete slob or I could tidy up and look like I have lots of money to throw around. Probably the most profitable thing for me to wear is some sort of poker t-[censored], haha. What do you guys think?

Is the opposite of your general style, assuming the other players are even looking.

Your age alone is enough to entice people to throw their money at you.
Fumble around at first with your cards, act like you don't know to post your blind and don't know that the turn and river bets are 2x the size of the flop bet. |

Re: most profitable table image?
Actually, I disagree. I would say that you should dress however you feel most comfortable playing at that time. What I mean is that as long as you don't let the way you present yourself distract you from playing your A game, then I'm all for it. Too often I'm afraid that doing one of those "gimmicks" may make you concentrate too hard on keeping the image going, especially if you are acting like someone you are not(i.e. loudmouth trying to be quiet).
I usually think that the best table image is to play up whatever your natural tendencies are, because I've seen every type of player be successful at the table. It doesn't really matter what your table image is(well, not really) if you can crush the table with your skills. |

you're 21, that's all you need. I'm 20, and go to the LA casinos. Every opponent thinks i'm bluffing. I once value bet AK because this guy was calling me down with a worse A high.
If you really want to get to them, dress nice and pretend like you don't even want to be there. |

Check out The Psychology of Poker. It reads that you can tell a lot about a person not only by the way they dress but by the way they talk, act, ... etc. I would suggest if you want people to think you play sloppy, dress sloppy.
