Table Image is not something which would be obvious to those starting out playing the game, and becomes more of a factor as you play with more skilled opponents. If you find yourself seated with these more skilled players, you will come to realise that they watch carefully how you play certain hands, and play their own cards in keeping with this. When making a decision, a skilled player will factor in a number of things to decide how strong or weak your hand is, including how loose or tight you seem to be playing.

Due to my table image of loose at my local game for instance, when I make a strong hand I am much more likely to extract chips from my opponent. The downside is that I have to sometimes have to pay out a few chips to maintain this image. The very fact that players form opinions of your type of play and label you in their mind as loose or tight, gives you opporunity to do the unexpected and pick up some chips. As well as this, I should mention that table image isn’t entirely decided by whether you choose to bluff or fold when you have a weak hand, if you are hitting cards well, you can make further use of this too. Whenever I am getting the run of the cards and have shown a few strong, winning hands I will bluff more often. In your opponents mind, you are having luck with the cards, so the next time you have an opporunity to bluff, often you will find more success simply because you are viewed as being lucky at that particular moment.
