Because first impression lasts

Today when I sat down, I thought I was gonna make a pretty aggressive impression on the rest of the table to make them more likely to call my raises later. Well, here is how it turned out, first hand at the table:

1st1nlast1out posts the small blind of $.10.
HugsHeal posts the big blind of $.25.
Kardinal posts out of turn for $.25.
