Intimidation --- maybe not the best way?
There were a few posts here about pocket kings or queens on an ace flop. I posted that I bet pretty much every time. Gabe, who is beating games that I think are much tighter than the ones I'm used to, said that most of the time he plays it more passive in order to extract money from lower pairs and such.
It occurs to me that my style of play has always been based on intimidating the other players at the table. I am very, very agro. The passive approach doesn't seem right to me, but I think it's because of my style of play. Can you lull opponents into giving you action by just playing like you're tight/weak? That seems to be the ilikeaces philosophy, too.
I know I'm talking about two players I don't really know and have probably never played against, so I could be way off. Sorry if I am.
I'm just curious, because I've never really considered this until just recently.
