A lot of good advice.

However, often in these games you can find that people will peel flop wide and fold turn too much or they won't call big river bets. I agree that primarily we focus on value betting and playing our strong tight range in these games. However, even against loose opponents once you get a feel for their style you will find opportunities to pound them with double and triple barrels (with the correct frequencies of course).
Important though don't just do this with air like Garick says semibluffing with equity with draws should still play a part in your game.
I've seen people post this a few times. I'd be pretty careful with it.
Realize that if someone is check calling you down through the river with top pair plus and giving up on the turn with worse you could bleed an awful lot of chips constantly trying to blow them off hands.
Plus not all Vs are as totally clueless as we like to think. You have tells and occasionally they will pick up on them even if it's intuitive. Sometimes they will just kind of get that your line makes no sense even if they don't know what a line is. Most players have a lot of experience now a days. Not that they are soul readers but you will get sniffed out from time to time and it will be expensive.
In a game like this, I prefer fewer bluffs with higher leverage, like well chosen turn raises, unless they are calling those too.
