If you're trying to convince me that table talk is a legitimate tool, then don't bother. It's a tool I use. It's more like an artform. A good table talker gives himself an advantage ala Marcel Luske. It's a hell of a lot of fun to get into an opponents head. I flopped trips one time on the button and talked the guy acting before me into racing for his whole stack. He showed down jack high.

As for maximizing value, when your image is loose it becomes profitable to push with the nuts almost every time.
