Since this thread has been bumped and new people are stumbling on it,
here is an updated view on what I wrote back then. As said there, all of this will still work like a charm vs the right people and in the right games. However, in other games this is very common knowledge and to beat the players stuck in this mode and not thinking past it you have to be a step or two ahead of them. Thinking (on the right level and about the right things, and actually applying) is a player's best weapon at this point, as so few players actually choose to do it while playing their fairly autopilot styles.
