Good advice all round there, so thanks for the replies and I see what you're saying.
I don't think it's an ego thing on my part its more a case of trying to get some respect or set an image at a table.

I agree that it's sometimes good for your opponents to think you are a weak player. At the moment though I feel more confident when they think I'm a strong player and in general - they are scared of my hands. Maybe this is simply because I'm playing on a small bankroll at and feel the need to protect it a little, so I'm getting comfortable with picking up regular small amounts from callers with preflop or post fold raises or raising(or calling) from late pos with suited connectors or less. Maybe I do need to rethink my strategy a little.

I play my worst at tables when I sit for a long period without a decent hand. I feel my image suffers because I'm just folding-folding-calling-folding-calling-folding. I'm crying out for something half decent to just show that I'm capable of aggressive play. What happens then of course is when I do go, people shit themselves and fold. Anway I'm sure we've all had that situation at times.

I'm fairly new to poker, have been moderately succesful over a year or so, but realise there's lots to learn as my table stakes go up. You learn how to beat say 10cNL players regularly only to realise that the same plays wont work at the 25c table and must be altered again when you play at the 50c tables.

I'm new to these forums also and after reading around a little I see that my questions about table 'image' have been talked about and answered in part on previous postings also.
