There was a debate about this and it was funny how people think being liked helps. The most feared guy usually controls the action because people will second-guess themselves. But there’s a flip side, once they smell your weakness, they’ll come for you hard. Being liked might get you more action though, especially in live games
 
I think players are more likely to overplay their hands if they believe other players "fear" them.
 
Well, AI must admit that whenever AI used to play card, I actually used to fear certain people. This is because people used to mock the losers a lot and make fun if him. When my opponent closed the game, I also used to retaliate as well.

This is a strategy some players do well to exploit. They will give you that feeling of being afraid just let the person overplay their hands and they will take advantage of the situation.

I think many people dominate others while playing the game of poker or any other game if cards and this may make people "afraid" if their opponents in many ways. They may intimidate them in many different way.
 
If you are most feared player at the table it means that you are very best and you always have the chances of winning. If you are most liked, it might be indicating that you are usually on losing side and people like to play with you because it also increases your chances of losing. I think being most feared is somewhat better
