Online, at least below the $215s, most decisions are not opponent-specific.

WTF? You making a ton of read-based decisions eight-tabling?
[/ QUOTE ]
a) yes
b) your original statement had nothing to do with 8 tabling
c) if below the 215s you don't learn to make reads, how do you somehow come up with the ability when you get to the 215s
d) i don't always/often 8 table due to other constraints, not that that matters
e) it is not, nor should it be, the goal of everyone in the universe to play as many tables as they humanly can
f) etc

Come on.
OK, forget 8-tabling.
Early on, you're folding most of the time, making standard raises or limps most of the rest of the time, and making standard plays post-flop most of the time.
Later, it's push-or-fold, based mostly on position, cards, blinds, and stacks.
Yeah, occasionally reads help with marginal decisions. Also, if you get a donk who folds too much heads-up, I guess that counts as a "read".
But otherwise, it's just not all that important.
