Re: Players Commenting on my tightness
[ QUOTE ]
Thank you for all the comments. The comments are made in between hands. Depending on the table, some people adjust to me, some don't. I do use my table image to my advantage to bluff and semi-bluff after I have established my image. The game that I play in though usually at least half the table has played with me before, so I don't need to establish an image because they already have one of me.
Depending on the table, sometimes my raises get respect and sometimes they don't. I was more worried about the psychological effect of the treatment getting to the point of me not wanting to play at the table anymore, however profitable it may be. I know, I should just ignore them and play my game.

If you are playing for "respect" or "companionship" then you will need to reevaluate your reasons for playing. If you are playing to win money, then you should play in a manner that wins the most money. I suspect that tight aggressive wins a lot of money in the games you're playing, so focus on the expected value and not the comments. The others are probably just jealous that you are a consistent winner because you're disciplined, they are not consistent winners because they are not disciplined, and you all know it.
