I don't mind predictability. Raising all my playable hands the same amount and betting the same into every pot disguises my hands completely. If they choose to play back at me, they take the risk that I have a real hand and will break them; if they keep laying down, I keep profiting. It's win-win for me.
I'm not that concerned with "inducing bets from other people." I'm winning with a lot of marginal hands (and sometimes nothing at all). But when I finally did win two big pots, they were on mediocre hands that happened to be just slightly better than my opponents'. To me, that's an ideal way to play the game. I basically shoved these guys around for a while and then they paid me off. In this session I came close to tripling my money in 40 minutes of play, and quite a lot of that came from picking up anywhere from 50 cents to 2 or 3 dollars in a series of small pots that no one else felt like fighting over.
