Effexor

Silver Level
I thought I was just playing my normal TAG style, raising good hands, pretty standard stuff, then this hand occurred..
Keep in mind the table was playing tight up to this point and reraises always scared people off so I was trying to just isolate the initial raiser.

shortly after this I got this comment:
pwhitey: he probably got sick of you raiseing everyhand
Afterwards I started to think about how my table image was affecting how people played their hands against me. Now I had a run of just awesome cards, every PP hit trips on non scary boards, etc.. Usually when I thought about table image, it was from the viewpoint that I didn't play many hands so people would tend to respect my raises. In this case, it was the complete opposite. Nobody believed anything I bet because I was literally hitting every other flop with huge hands. The upside to this was that I got paid off on every hand I hit, the downside was that I couldn't c-bet.
On a side note, I went out in 4th place when my pocket 9's on the button all-in steal attempt ran into QQ in the SB and KK in the BB..
