Thanks for creating this. I found the decisions here much more difficult for some reason.

Most of these I will or will not raise depending on table conditions.

Am I a grumpy dick if I point out again that I think these polls are wrong headed and probably encourage bad ABC play when the most important think about 6 max is the players at the table?

no, but if you sit down at 100 tables with 1000 unknowns against whom you have zero hands, you need a good 'basic strategy'. mason talks about this in poker essays, and admits that 'basic strategy' is a misnomer, but don't you think having default plays helps?

I wholeheartedly agree that reads can sway things in many different directions obviously

Everything depends. But it's nice to know defaults so you can shade your depends correctly based on the table.

There really is a use to them. By looking at what people say are "default" plays against unknowns, I'm getting an idea whether or not I place a different value on particular hands, which in turn can lead to a reevaluation.

Plainly, everyone agrees that once you have some kind of read or info on the players, things can change substantially.
