respected or misunderstood?
in a small to middle limit cash game (between 4/8 and 15/30), would you rather be respected and feared by your opponents, or thought of as a total fish who happens to be getting lucky?

Re: respected or misunderstood?
i think in a small limit game it would be better to be thought of as lucky.
I guess if your respected, you expect to pull off a few plays here and there, but even tho they respect your hand, low limit players will still call enough that it isnt worth the bluff. |

Re: respected or misunderstood?
When my preflop raise rakes the blinds it's usually time to leave.

[/ QUOTE ] I would prefer to take advantage of the image the cards have given me so far, rather than try to force an image. Most of the time this means 'feared & respected' and I take advantage of it. Some of the time it means 'luckbox' and I wind up having a huge night. Some of the time half the table (or more) has no clue anyhow, and I just play straightforward poker against those players. |

Re: respected or misunderstood?
I am with the majority here. I have a pretty clueless image because of my quirky personality (I am partially insane). I find it gets me more action even in an otherwise tight game. Quack quack.

Re: respected or misunderstood?
I do not care which image I have, but I feel I have an edge if I know what my openent image of me is.

Re: respected or misunderstood?
in low-limits I've already replaced my bluffing with an arsenal of value-betting. Therefore I'd rather get payed off further on these bets.
I don't know where the point is that you'd rather take down more pots uncontested. |

Re: respected or misunderstood?
I tend to follow Machiavelli's theorising: If you can't be loved, be feared. Only problem is that love results in respect, whilst fear results in cowed behaviour. If someone developed some balls or makes a lucky call, the image can be dispelled. So I generally prefer to ignore the whole image thing and concentrate on my opponents.
