tighten up preflop to get more respect on flop cbets?
 

Has anyone experienced this?, i think at least at the low limits this might have a bigger effect than it should have theoretically because people seem to give you much less respect if you raise a lot preflop.
Do you prefer the lag image or would you rather have a tag image to get more respect on you cbets? I d like the tag image more because i usually play laggy and it is pretty annoying to be so card dependend.

There are games sometimes where it can be more effective to have a tight image than a loose one, specifically against players whose main weakness is predictability rather than looseness. Such games are not prevalent at 0.25/0.50 and below however.

well, i am not sure about that. from my experience the most exploitable players shorthanded are tight passives or they are loose passive preflop and tight passive on the flop, however these guys usually dont react too much to the way you play.
as long as our opponents stay passive we dont have a big problem but if they start raising us on the flop more liberally i think it s time to tighten up somewhere before the flop or on the flop. of course we could push over them more lightly too but i just feel there is a too big gap between the hands i cbet and the hands i feel comfortable felting when getting raised.

If you tighten up you'll have the best hand more often. Maybe the title of your post should should I bluff less?

tightening up and bluffing less is basicly the same thing isnt it? i probably should bet less often with hands that cant stand a raise like just pairs and non nut flush draws.
