The other day I was playing a NL $24 MTT on FTP. In about 20 hands i Hit pocket Aces 4 times, and showed em each time, AKos once, and AQos 3 times. I normally play a tight aggressive game, but each time i hit pocket aces i've shown em, its just something i do because i normally dont hit em enough for people to remember and it scares them and lets me loosen my game because i almost always play them in a straight forward style.

Well after the 4th time hitting them people in chat are saying i'm on a rush, something i dont believe in, and i'm getting almost no action, probably because i've busted 3 people in this tear.

Also during this quick spurt of cards i've become chip leader at the table.
How much should i have change up my game given that my opponents think i'm on a rush and wont play me?

I loosened up somewhat until our table was broken up and moved, but i think i should have played more loosely keep stealing because of the antee's. Should I have played a maniac style or just loosened up a little bit?

ok... maybe i didnt make this thread clear. I was wondering, because people are so unwilling to play me, if i should switch styles to a maniac play or just loosen up a little bet and steal. What i ended up doing was playing about 1/3 of my hands and i was stealing and re-stealing since no one was willing to play me. Understandable since I busted 2 people with the aces and took a good amount of chips with my AQ's, AK got no action >.<. Is it right to loosen up a lot or should i keep playing Tight Aggressive poker?

If stealing is working (for whatever reason), you should keep on stealing until it doesn't work any more.
