If I notice that my opponents suck (from their previous games) and if they've never been scholarsmated before, then I go for it.

I see. You're not looking for a good strategy to employ against strong players. Your current strategy isn't working against opponents who don't know much about chess. Maybe you know less about chess than them. I guess that's my advice. Learn more about chess. You're welcome in advance.
