But it contains at least one very common type of faulty thinking that pops up over and over: someone posts a tough spot that practically BEGS for a game-theoretic solution, but everyone instead suggests there's some magic "read" that the player should have that would bail him out. E.g.: "It's read dependant." No, it's not. If you have a "read," fine. If not, sometimes you have to play defensively, or a good opponent will tear you apart.

I disagree: almost all of these hands are read dependent, the best play depends massively on how your opponent plays and it's lazy not to have a good idea what that is. Yes, there is probably a "standard" line, which might be a mixed strategy or a pure strategy, but it's probably not very profitable.

It's the fact that all hands are read dependent that makes this such a boring and lazy answer. Whether to call a big overbet all-in PF with 72o is read-dependent.
