Early strikes make for a quick day

So I started my session at 6:30am today, sat down at a table and noticed a few regulars, and a few not so regulars.  I bought in for my usual 100, and looked down at AQ offsuit for my first starting hand, not a bad way to go I suppose and raised it to 15, immediately got 2 callers.  Flop comes AQ2, and I check, the other person checks as well and a very aggressive player bets out 25, not wanting to lose the other person in that hand, I smooth call his 25, and the other player calls as well.  Turn is a 6 and again I check, as does the other player.  The aggressive player however bets another 25, at this point, there's about 100 in the pot and I just want to take it down to I reraise to 50 putting myself all in.  The other player calls after thinking a bit and the agressive player folds.  The river is a 5 and I turn over two pair to take the pot, the other player had A2, pretty unlucky for him, but let this be a lesson to some of you.  That's what you get for playing Ace-Rag on a raised pot.

I have a table image at the casino as a very tight player that doesnt bluff and I love that image because that's how I bluffed out a huge pot today as well.  I had 72 diamonds on the button, not the greatest of hands, but the flop came Q K 5 with 2 diamonds.  It was checked around to me, so I checked as well, and the turn was a K of spades.  the bet was 15, with 2 callers and myself I decided to stuck around for the diamond draw because I knew that if I had hit I would get paid and failing that I called to set up a bluff since this seemed like the perfect time to do it.  The river was a blank.  And again it was checked to me, so I threw out a small value bet of 50 dollars.  It was folded to one more person before I won the pot and he looked at me and said.  You have a King?  I said yes I do <total lie> he looks at me and goes, yeah.. i've played with you before you never lie (hahaha), and folded his Queen. 

Why did I win that pot?  simple, because out of all the months I've been going there and playing with these people, they know how I play, they view me as a tight player who will not bluff and who usually has the goods.  So if I pick my moments properly, I can sneak in a bluff or two and win big pots and get people to lay down hands that normally beat mine.  This is one of the aspects of poker that I can not teach, it's just innate to know when to bluff and when not to.  But this is why table image is very important. 

That was pretty much it for memorable hands, I wasn't there that long, a little over 3 hours as I left at 9:40am, and with 400 dollars profit I might add.
