1) I admit I do prefer the rope-a-dope tactic to the Hammer tactic. But then again I do play the micro levels where players will call down with any Ace, so I am reluctant to try and do it with say K-Q suited. But the rope-a-dope works great on super-aggressive players when you have a set, and they have top pair, good or best kicker.
2) I used to, when starting out, but now I tend to try and prevent my opponents getting any information on me whenever possible. I still see a lot of players
3) It's not something I have personally done, but I think for a beginner it would be perfect to learn to vary plays with hands.
4) I do love that move, and I do use it. It's when you get those flops that you know haven't helped your opponent [raggedy flop, rainbow.] you could check, make them bet, then come over the top. I had a strange situation when I did this against two players on a 8-high rainbow flop after I opened with a raise pre-flop, I did the check raise with A-K, and I get called by a player with Q-7, for Queen high. Two Tens on the turn and river meant I profited a lot more from that play than I expected. But I do love that move. People can't help to make a bluff, just for the sake of it, because you checked.
