I've noticed that it works the other way round as well. If you fold several hands in a row, your opponents might have an impression that you play only very strong hands, and because of that you can easily get away with bluff afterwards.
It's true anything you do consistently in a game with opponents skews their view of you. Whether it's folding to 3 bets or bet folding the flop, some people will take it that you do this everytime. I always get antsy when I RFI 3 or 4 times in a row based on my pre-flop range. Usually it seems I'll have 2 really strong hands in a row where most people fold out because I've been perceived tight the last half hour or so while I waited on hands. Then I get the 3rd hand and it's in my range but near the bottom. I always think a little longer on these as to whether I play them or not, as I find people begin to lose their resolve and get annoyed maybe just spite jam or raise.
I know it still gets to me sometimes if I watch someone do the same maneuver 3 or 4 times, I still fight myself and my emotions at the table quite frequently.
