Image Maintenance

[callydrias]

So I'm steal raising with a broad, but reasonable, range of hands. I'm preflop raising my big hands and isolating the suckers. I'm following up with continuation bets on the flop when I hit or when I miss with non-hellish boards. I'm using bet/fold lines against the calling stations. I'm doing the things I think good little TAGs ought to do and then I hit a stretch when my bet folds all end up in folds and, from an outside perspective, it just looks like I'm completely FOS and can be pushed over with any flop or turn raise. The laggier fish are now taking shots at me and I end up having to make lots of uncomfortable folds. How does your play change when you realize your image is garbage?

Sure, the easy answer is to tighten up, steal less, and don't put your chips past the line without the goods, but I'm finding that executing that strategy is easier said that done. Any tips?
