I think table image only really counts at higher levels, or in big tourneys after all the fish have been knocked out...people have the telly on, the kids screaming, the missus whining, plus they're surfing ebay, looking at porn, downloading music, etc...so clever plays go completely unnoticed, bluffs will be called whatever your image.
I really notice it in things like $5 SNGs...you can sit there until level 4 or 5 folding every single hand, then you make a massive raise, or even go all-in, and half the table calls you with all sorts of marginal crap.
Anyone who had paid the slightest bit of attention to the preceding play would not call with a marginal hand against a player who folded every hand until level four and was now suddenly coming in for a massive raise!!
