It didn't ruin my image to make one move. People know better than that. A couple of them knew what I was doing and disregarded the technique. I showed my hand to tilt that one guy because the pot was large enough to give either of us sealegs to sail with. When you steal a crucial large pot late in a multi table, and then let them know it was theirs for the taking, it can psychologically damage an opponent.
