To be more clear, when I say weak, I see people folding a lot when someone comes over the top, and occasionally making a crying call with some cheese (which is exactly what zam has observed).

I have gone through a transition lately, mainly in MTT play, where later in the tournament I vary my opening raise some. Specifically, if I am first in from MP or later I will sometimes make a mini raise with AA/KK/(less often with)QQ to encourage action. It works. Man, I have been giving people way too much credit for way too long. I am turning into a value whore late in MTT's now, but it hasn't hurt my stealing any yet. My mini raises have so far gotten a lot of respect the few times I have tried them in STT's.
