about once a week or once every two weeks, my friend puts on a home game that usually consists of 7-20 players. i have set a table image as a tight aggressive player, but i want to know what i can do to throw my game off for other players.. any suggestions?
Did you know that participating in a poker forum can help you improve your own game? Be it by sharing experiences or simply asking for help, participation in a forum helps you focus and keep 'on topic' which will help you improve your game. You can learn from other players feedback and from their experiences. Why the THP poker forums? We offer one of the best managed texas holdem poker forums available, and the community within is far more friendly than those typicaly found on other sites. We've made a 'lurkers edition' of the poker forum available here on Holdem Poker Online, but we encourage all visitors to register and join in on the conversations on TexasHoldem-Poker.com

Read a few books.

I dunno, try limping in with a premium hand every once and a while (not when too many people are in the pot) and try to stick it to someone if you get a piece of the flop. If everyone is playing really tight and scared, loosen up and steal some pots. Be ready to switch gears if someone catches on. If playing tight aggresive seems to be working on a given night, just keep it up and don't get fancy.
Just my .02. There aren't set-in-stone things you can do. Every game is different and some things work on certain people and not on others.

Changing playing styles is a very useful tool at the poker table. If your at a tight table then loosen up your starting hand requirements. If your at a loose table then tighten them up. You can try bluffing once in awhile. If you get caught then good. The reason it is good is because when you do get on a great hand your more likely to be called down.
As someone suggested you might be wise to pick up a good book or two on the game. It never hurts to know more when you set down at a poker table.
