What's your table image?...And is mine a problem?

Why would you want to change your image? Your opponents are capping the action pre-flop and then checking and folding the best hand to your bets on the flop. How could it be any better than that?

It just seems to me that my image is opposite of alot of people here. it's tight to the point of pokrlikeitsprose's image. It is an auto 3bet on alot of hands against alot of players except me, they go into check call mode or fold. A few months ago, I was playing against a regular and I raise utg with KK, he reraises me on the button, so I instareraise and he instamucks AQ. Things like that are starting me wondering if LAG is better

I just kind of wondered to the majority here who have loose aggressive images, if they work on that image, if they prefer that to a tight one, and if people like me and p.l.i.p. could earn a few more bets by giving more action

the example I gave in op worked out that time. But I had to be amazed by that and really start to think about my image after that one and if there was a better way out there for me to earn a little more.

The suggestion I would give here if you don't want someone to fold when you reraise preflop is not to "instareraise". Probably better if you don't "insta" do anything at any point - it looks like you at least have a decision to make and your hand isn't so good that your only conceivable option is to raise.
