I like your attitude alot and with your focus on the game you can do really really well in poker since you will always gain information and learn how other people play hands and maybe catch up on a thing or two by seeing how good players play their hands. I pretty much like that you take this into account even on the micro limits since I pretty much do the same but... I usually never bet with the worst of it to get information because at these limits, you will get called by a better hand since people don't think in an advanced way.

If you play at a casino with lets say, 100 regulars each day for a year, your tactic/methods would be gold but online and at micro limits, the amount of players is just huge and it's not very likely you end up with 3 "old" players at the same table if you play at Party unless you have a very strict scheme you follow when choosing tables.

Btw, your "methods" could be really great for NL tournaments in the middle/end game. You should try a few out.
