I have the following general rules.
<ul type="square">[*]Limps a lot... Kill him[*]Min bets a lot ... Kill him[*]Uses the Ultimate Bet "bet pot" a lot button... give some respect. [*]bets 2/3 to 3/4 of the pot using the slider... assume he is as good as me. [/list]Those are my basic patterns. What are yours ?

Hmmm, not real crazy about this list. The problem with this list, and with the play you made in this post, is that you are assuming that you can get lower buy-in players to fold with a bluff. Bluffing is not really a good strategy at the lower buy-ins.

Limps a lot . . . I don't make much of that. 4-tabling, I hardly notice.
Min-raises a lot . . . Doesn't know much about how to bet. However, that doesn't mean that I can get him to lay down top pair or middle pair with a bluff on the flop. I think it means that I am LESS likely to be able to get him to lay down cards when the flop hits them.

Uses the "bet pot" button: Everytime I see somebody do this, I think, "damn, that's stupid."

Bets 2/3 to 3/4 of the pot: I don't read much into this.
