breaks are 4/4
use your ears, it's not very difficult. stop relying on the kick drum and you'll see you can beatmatch anything
beatmatching is easy, but mixing into 4/4/ from breaks can be tricky because you have to deal with bringing in the kicks under the kicks of the breaks track gracefully. a lot of times for me this means some sort of drama on the eqs |

| To me it is the exact same as any other mix. I don't even think about if the song I'm going to mix in has a breakbeat or not. |

| Don't listen to the beat and it will all fall into place. |

| Beatmatching is a pretty stupid way of describing it anyway, I hardly ever JUST match kick drums. |

| when i first started djing i used to kill the bass on the breaks track so i could just concentrate on matching the hats and snare. might work for you. after a while you won't need to do that though, it'll just sound "right". |

I found that for me, the easiest thing to do with breaks is to phrase match it. For a split second it should sound fine and will give you an idea how things are going to sound. Then adjust your pitch accordingly to match beats.
Press play on the deck with breaks just before you hear the first beat of a phrase on the master track |

Why in the hell would you do that? Doing so would immediately put the two tunes off-beat of each other. |

well, if you press "play" just on the first beat of the phrase, it will be off beat. You have to anticipate the beginning of the phrase. Maybe I'm not describing this correctly, but in essence, I think that in this case - phrase matching first is a better idea. |
