Ok.
So I was running really hot, and picking my spots to steal agains the nits, in a 2 hour session, I had 8 opportunities to play for stacks. Everything from top set, to nut straight flush draws on the flop.
No matter what I did I couldn't get my opponents to commit their stack. Whenever I see everyone doing it on the videos, it always looks so easy. Why is it that they can get every donkey in the world to commit their stack with 0 outs, and I can't find one clown on the table that wants to play for more than 1/2 their money.
I tried weak leads, I tried shove leads, I tried slow playing.
It one point I even check/called with the top full house, hoping he would fire the 3rd barrell on the river with whatever he had... I checked, he checked behind with the 2nd best full house!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Who does that at 25nl???
Is there anywhere I can be directed that will detail a play that would help me look amazingly weak when I'm really strong that isn't the typical check/call flop, check raise turn garbage that just screams: "SET, I HAVE A SET"

The older I get, the more I start wondering; Just what in the hell is going on here?

If you have a low cbet % and low aggression factor postflop you aren't likely to get a lot of action post flop because people will realize that when you're playing past the flop you actually have a hand. Try playing a little tighter preflop and much more aggressive postflop. What will happen is you'll be in less marginal spots so you will be playing all your good hands aggressively and opps will be more likely to put you on a bluff.
check calling isn't a common bluffing line.

slow playing is absolutely pointless most of the time at low stakes, people who are going to play for stacks will do so on the flop, if you let them check you are just giving them oppertunity to fold on a later street when they havent hit.
At low level, people not stacking off is variance. The donks are there, if you play low stakes and aren't a donk, sooner or later you're going to move up.

This couldn't be more true if God had Moses carve it into a stone tablet. As a matter of fact, it might have even been in the last five commandments they broke.

The biggest mistakes people make at this level are
1) Calling too much
2) Betting/raising too little.
Slowplaying sucks for these reasons.
