Re: Go ahead and re-raise this flop?
[ QUOTE ]
I was thinking about why I called instead of raising a pretty clear raising hand, and I've come to the conclusion that it's because subconsciously I want the other players at the table to think I am a good player. But really, my goal ought to be to take their money. So if they call my raise thinking "what a fish", so much the better for me (and you). I have to imagine it's more profitable if your opponents have an incorrect read on you than if they just have a general read that you're a solid player.

Good points, some of my most profitable sessions are when I pick up 3-4 good hands in a row and my opponents think I'm a maniac. After they realize I'm showing down good hands everytime they stop playing back at me and I pick up a bunch of pots because they fear I have the nuts again.
