More often than not, no one really has that great of a hand.

As to your read on weak bets and counteracting them: Saturday night I built up my 100NL stack at the casino to $750, and in the midst of it I came across the same scenerio. 3 People to a flop, I hit bottom pair, I am in MP and guy UTG bets 1/4 of the pot. Seemed hella weak unless he was dominating me, so I put out a pot sized bet and took it down.

I agree with your quote on Doyle in that the trick to TH'em is to put your opponent to the difficult decisions, not yourself. Just like in boxing - the best defence is a good offense. Diciplining oneself against resistance is the most difficult part.
