The only mistakes you get from them are when they call oop with marginal hands and then fold to your c-bet.
wrong. they play incorrectly reguardless. the only difference is they don't call with 9 2 off.
that is also very wrong that the only mistakes you get are them calling oop and folding to a c bet. are you serious?
Could you please elaborate on this? do you mean they always play incorrectly when you say 'they play incorrectly reguardless'?

BTW, seeing how you ask "are you serious?" I think you may be thinking this is my opinion.
I don't really have a clear opinion on the matter and i am just trying to get some more experienced players to elaborate on things that go through my mind after reading a book. I am a new player and trying to learn, so i would kindly ask for your patience. Thank you.

On the other hand I may have to rephrase. i meant big 'mistakes'.
They surely will play incorrectly, for example, folding hands that have a better showdown value than what we are raising with (where pushing all-in, reraising, or other moves may be higher EV) but that is not a very costly mistake (i.e. 1blind)

If i understand the theory correctly, it is profitable for you when your opponents make 'mistakes', but it may be even more profitable for you to trade a small mistake (i.e. limp in some situations) for bigger mistakes by your opponents.

Thank you all for your posts, i hope there will be some more ideas coming, and a lot for me to learn.
