If you are up 3-5 buy-ins how is your table image affected?

My stats today:

During current Hold'em session you were dealt 398 hands and saw flop:
- 42 out of 74 times while in big blind (56%)
- 41 out of 74 times while in small blind (55%)
- 74 out of 250 times in other positions (29%)
- a total of 157 out of 398 (39%)
Pots won at showdown - 25 of 47 (53%)
Pots won without showdown - 59

Not many pre-flop raises except with high cards, otherwise mostly limps, but some sc and pair raises for variety (maybe 1 out of 10)

Up a lil over 4 buy-ins at 50NL.

with my kind of table image (lots of flops, aggression) is it:

1) Easier to get paid off in general because people think they are being muscled, or do you get folds because people fear you?
2) Easier to steal, or is this more obvious to people?


also, do you:

1) Leave while ahead and protect you profit?
2) Stay because you are playing well?
