Re: A corollary to Citanul’s recent image post.

Therefore, it is sometimes correct to pass on a slightly +EV push in order to preserve your image, and, by doing so, keep the calling range of an opponent tighter than it properly should be.

I think Citanul's point was that a lot of the time players will fold or call no matter what your image based on stack sizes, or there will be situations where the call/fold range of the opponent isn't enough effected by image that it isn't worth it.
Also, if you only change your action for 1 or 2 hands throughout a SnG for image reasons, that won't effect your image.
All that said, I found what does help is avoiding early steals from the SB so that the guy to your immediate left is less prepared for you switching gears than he should be.
