I had a very loose image at this particular table, I had shown down a 200BB bluff that got called by top set... so naturally people weren't giving me much credit.
On the flop it seemed like a cbet so I just called, trying not to scare him away. On the turn after I bet, he tanked for over a minute before shoving, and because of this combined with my loose image I figured he must be trying to decide what to do with a weakish made hand like AK,AT which is why I decided to call his push (although he could be deciding what to do with TT because I'm representing a flush)
When I look back at this hand I feel like floating the flop was ok because of my aggressive image. It could look like I'm floating a cbet on the flop and then trying to push him off when I bet on the turn, therefore getting more value out of hands like AK,AJ that might get scared if I raise the flop. I'm just thinking maybe it would have been better to just raise his bet on the flop, so that I don't have tricky decisions to make on the turn/river.
Anything other factors that I should take into acount?
