How do YOU use the auto check, raise, check/fold, check/call buttons?

[CountDuckula]

I frequently use auto-fold PF, but will try to minimize that if I want to disguise the hands that I spend a few seconds actually thinking about. Never check-fold, because I think an insta-check represents extreme weakness and encourages my opponents to play back at me; if I want to encourage that, I'll use auto-check to make them think I used check-fold. I sometimes use auto-bet/raise to represent either a bluff or a monster (depending on what I think my table image is at the time, or how I think the other players are interpreting that sort of thing from everyone else).

The guiding principle I try to follow is to be conscious of what sort of message I think the auto-button will send. If it's a message I want to send, I'll use it; if not, I won't.
