     This is a perfect case of being a victim to your own well laid plans. You stated that you had shown bluffs which people remember and will automatically assume that you are always "at it". This means they will call you down a lot lighter and pay you off with your bigger hands. But the downside is that when you make moves with bigger hands and get called down light then sometimes you will be outdrawn and then they will cash in big time.

      Moral of the story: Creating an image at the table is a double edged sword so be careful.

      For my personal opinion it is always best to never show a hand to your opponents because although you may use it to create a false image free information is never a good thing to give away.
