Re: Questions on getting Respect / Fear at a table
This is my first reply. I've been thinking about this too and I get the feeling that if you are conservative or tight/aggressive you don't need to advertise. Good players notice how many pots you play and where you fold. Bad players don't notice anything whether you advertise or not. Loose players are always willing to take the chance that they can scare you off a pot because they have a draw.
You may want to show a bluff if you think it will tilt your opponent, but I think it is better to do that in the late stages rather than the early ones.
I say don't advertise and put the pressure on your opponents to figure out how you play.
