Why I love limit. Donks like this.
I am calling this guy down light every time. Donks bets everytime when checked to him. Never adjusted his game at all, even when I showed consistently I was calling him down. Stats: 72.22/25.93/1.94 WTSD 58.7 W$ASD 29.63 Net in the 54 hands he played -$417. $228.15 of that went to me. Beautiful.

Comments
No value bet?
First hand you see that, you know the guy is an atm
One pair, mediocre kicker. I fully expected the guy to roll over an Acrap. I had position so I could have fired again but this is probably more an example of where multi-tabling costs some very thin value bets because you don't have a full read on every player so the safer play was to check behind because again without a full read, I probably pay off a c/r.
Fortunately in this case, unlikely he pays off that bet. So for me, when multi-tabling, I'd rather check behind potentially costing me $20 on the some times that he pays off that bet, then bet and pay off a c/r costing me $40. We can do a Sklansky analysis on that but I'd also have to factor in the lack of complete reads.
Well actually, I'd argue that you have 2nd pair and 2nd best kicker. Which IMO seems huge vs a bad player. Although you're probably right that vs. an aggressive player like this you walk into a CR when he does spike the A and have to pay off 2 here. (Although I can also see giving him a chance to bluff CR the river here with junk on occaision).
OOP I probably check-call vs an aggressive player giving him a chance to bluff the A with worse pairs and missed draws. Last to act I'll usually value bet if checked to though (although I do walk into CR's here too much).
Against a passive player I'll generally bet both in and out of position though (folding to a raise).
