Message: [QUOTE="ChuckTs, post: 421142, member: 467"] Nice post, medeiros - this point in the book has struck a nerve with me too. I've found myself in very similar situations in MTTs recently - I'm a TAG player for the first hour or so, and sometimes I'll get a rush of cards and people will give me [I]way [/I]less respect for a hand after. When I get a rush of cards like that, I sometimes show a bunch of them to show that I'm not bullying, but actually have premium hands. I do this because I try to maintain my TAG image so that I can still steal with ease later. This actually happened to me in yesterday's $5 buyin; I was getting hands everytime a certain player limped in front of me, and I had to raise them. I could tell the player was feeling bullied, so I showed some of my hands to make sure they knew I was still playing TAG, and to make sure steals were still available to me later. [/QUOTE]
