I was going to elaborate some more but decided not to and I'll just say the obvious: This question is so "feel" dependent that it cannot be answered. Now before you jump all over me for saying "feel" Ill explain what I mean. I mean that basically, feel consists of all of those variables and sub-variables that are too numerous to list, but after having played 5000+ of these things, you sort of don't have to spell them out when in game time. (I realize in L1 where starting stacks are still intact, these variables become somewhat eliminated but there are still things like #of limpers, previously raised pots PF, agression frequency in players left to act PF and prepost/flop etc...)

I have no problems playing by a strict set of opening hand criteria either, but, I think with experience its better without such a thing.
