Default Re: $55: pocket fours hand

I am not talking about the amount of chips you have, but about your image.
I think it is absolutely key to balance the number of raises you make pre-flop so that you maintain the wrongfully tight calling/re-raising ranges of your opponents. If people are already getting pissed off by your blind steals as you enter lvl 4, you are missing out on valuable FE on lvls 5, 6 +. Thus, you might wanna skip a low EV raise here. Just my opinion, correct me if it is far fetched.

EDIT: Obviously, you will never want to skip an EV+ raise. What I meant was that this raise could be cEV+ if you only consider the time horizon of this hand, but $EV- in the context of the entire tournament. Forgive my rambling.
