Several weaker regulars got up and left the game after seeing tight aggressive play from me. I was card dead for about an hour, then picked up AK several times and squeezed it. I usually do like 4x OOP + an extra "x" for each caller, but usualy that results in both players calling. So today I sized up a bit to try to isolate. Like 2/5 25 bet 25 call, I make it 160 in the BB. Or raise 20, raise 60, call 60, I make it 245 in the SB (Guy folded JJ this hand and very candidly told me he was only calling QQ+). Eventually they caught on I wasn't only doing with this premiums and I had a couple players call me to the flop. Once I potted the flop (depending on the texture) though they just got out of the way. Furthest someone made it with me was to the turn in a heads up pot, most of them were giving up pre and no one was really fighting back by taking the betting lead, they did start calling a little bit though. Multiway I definitely was slowing down, but heads up I was pretty ruthlessly aggressive.
I'm also a young guy and some could say I have a bit of a baby face. I was sitting there very emotionalessly and composed with a serious expression on my face regardless of what was happening. Player talked to me in between hands I just gave them a polite smile or nod or when the guy said did you have JJ beat, I said "You'll have to call next time and find out
".
Should I be friendlier between hands and entertain the fishes questions about what I had more (lie), or is it best to sit with the composure I was so that they continue to respect me as the aggressor even if it means some of them will leave the game. I didn't show any of my hands either. I also don't want to get physically attacked after leaving the room.
