Default Theoretical: you know opponents hole cards on flop

Suppose one day you log onto your favorite site and discover that you can see all of your opponents' hole cards when the flop is dealt. How would you maximize EV?

It seems like in the short term you could play the top 50% of hands (limit) or almost every hand (no limit) and just destroy everyone after the flop. This would work for a while but even poor players would learn to stay the hell away from you if you never lost. You would have to deliberately lose a lot of the time both to avoid suspicion and to lure people into hands with you. The best strategy would probably be to appear like a lucky fish, beating people with your QTs and 46s. It would obviously raise all kinds of red flags to be winning every tournament you entered, but cracking the top 30 2/3 of the time seems ok.

Anyone else have any thoughts on how they would maximize profits?
