I think that any missed chance, no matter how small, is a disadvantage, sometimes fatal for your stack, especially when it comes to paid places.

When they are talking about building your image at the table, I don't think they had your plan in mind.

I think it is a bad idea. I can always determine whether a player is truly a professional or whether he is playing loosely, this takes time. In live poker, sometimes you had to play several evenings at the same table with a person to understand how he plays. If a player uses a poker technique such as BlockBet or other techniques, then it becomes immediately clear that this player is not playing poker for the first time. In general, if you are a professional, then you will not be able to pretend to be a loose player, anyway, sooner or later you will start playing at full strength and then everything will become clear.

It depends on what situations and against which opponents, and this strategy does not always work out. But in some cases, when you play against a very aggressive player, you can play your strong cards passively. And vice versa, bet against careful players right away so that they don't catch their outs for free. Anyway, using this strategy, I can say that there may be a severe shortage of chips if the opponent doesn't start bluffing at you when you hide your hand strength.

Skipping moves against an aggressive player is fine, but against other players you will simply not collect chips and lose a lot because of this because you miss a turn and your opponent watches the next cards for free, then he can make a combination and you will lose so when you have a card, bet

I often try to feign uncertainty/naivety with the nuts from the flop against aggressive players (or a very strong hand that is not 100%, but most likely the strongest in the hand) - bet 2bb into a pot of 70, think for a long time, etc. Speaking of thinking, if there is a mutipot planned preflop, and you have monsters - think for a very long time so that the opponents behind your back are not afraid of our snap call - maybe everyone already knows this, but I came to this myself after I snapped AA and after the end of the current hand people showed AK, JJ, etc. with glad they kept their chips

At a table it is not necessary to pretend, because the regular player is going to play 20 hands with you and will realize if you are a regular, or you are a recreational player, or you are an even worse fish.
For example, if you enter a table and instead of doing Open Raise which is what any regular player does, you limp for example with AA in UTG, the regular player is going to test you second, he will make you a ROLE at 5 BB and depending on your reaction he will see if you are a fish or if you are a tight or if you are a regular who pretends.
As my brother @A kiravio says, a strong or good hand, by wanting to pretend or act badly you can lose a lot of money or even an important tournament.
For example, this situation really happens a lot when a player hits a set on the flop, and depending on the flop he only calls or even checks until the river to see if he can catch you, he does not realize that the other player is getting the entire information that the turn or the river has, and that can even give you a better game than the set that the one who wants to catch you has.
In poker, every bad decision makes you lose money, always keep this in mind.

And don't forget giving free turn and river cards can give the villain the cards that ultimately crush your AA for example villain ends up with 2 pair plusAt a table it is not necessary to pretend, because the regular player is going to play 20 hands with you and will realize if you are a regular, or you are a recreational player, or you are an even worse fish.

That's why I make it clear brother.
Faking a situation so that the villain thinks you are a recreational player instead of a regular one is useless.
In my case in cash, when I started playing everyone gave me realies or went all in or paid me with nothing.
Today that I am playing in NL5 and in a short time, God willing, already playing in NL10, I can assure you that when I do Open Raise, many of those who previously played in one way against me, today they fold, or they play hands that they know that can beat me.
The study of the game, in my case with a coach and with hand study and videos about poker, is what totally differentiates the regular player from the recreational player.

Some regulars do it, but they know who they do it with, it is generally with recreational players, because the regulars who pay attention to the game usually identify well the strategies of the other regulars.
