Quote for the Day: A Loose Table Image

"If opponents think that you're dangerous, but that you know what you're doing, you've gained psychological leverage. But you gain much more psychological leverage if your opponents think you're dangerous and you don't know what you're doing. Opponents predictably run for cover and hold their fire against a 'loose canon'. You need to put your ego aside and allow your opponents to think that you're playing poorly or are just lucky... I get tremendous mileage out of one or two very blatant plays. I like to spread hopeless hands. I want them to be so absurd that players will remember them... When you master techniques like this and present them just right, it's an art form. You risk seeming forced and phony unless you practice. But it's worth the effort."
