It depends on how you play. I tend to make most of my money on check raises, especially with players that aren't familiar with my style. Fold fold fold, maybe show a strong hand that would have been a small winner, shake my head and dwell on how I should have called...Then when I start the check raises, they say "Jesus, this guy plays tight, he must have the nuts". Sometimes I'll check raise with 7-2 offsuit, if I'm confident they'll fold and I feel like someone might call me next time. Show them the bluff, then make sure I actually have the nuts next time I raise. Now if I'm playing other regulars or a pro shows up, I'll try to get them on tilt with a few bluff shows, see if I can get them to overvalue hands and start throwing money around. It's all relative. No two tables are the same, no two players are the same, and no one strategy is "foolproof" every time.
