might want to add an asterik to this one...it might be right in some places but I think playing at the lower limits you shouldn't worry about your table image too much or try to adjust your play based on it, most of the fishes won't notice the difference.
BS. This is what I did yesterday:

I decided I had a horrible run of cards and I didn't play a hand for a while. When I did play a hand nobody would call me down to the end.

So I raised from MP, two callers. I had Q6o. This is limit btw.
Flop comes ace high. Someone bets. I raise. Both call. I have no piece.
Turn is a blank. I bet. Both call.
River comes a blank. I bet. Both call. I turn over ABSOLUTELY NOTHING. While one turns over middle pair and one turns over top pair aces.

In two hands I get AJo. I raise from MP. One guy calls. Not the one of the two in the hand.
Flop is jack high. I bet. He INSTANTLY calls me. Not the "fast" call, but the call that INDICATES that he put his software into CALL ANY mode. He checked that checkmark.
I bet the turn. INSTANT CALL.
I bet the river. INSTANT CALL. I show AJ and he mucks.

I mean I'd probably get less if I didn't try this "advertising" play, but the Q6o was definitely losing me money. Although I now know that people are WATCHING how I play. I didn't show down a hand the entire time because everyone folded to my bets on the river. Q6o was the first one I showed. This was on the lowest stakes on pokerroom.
