This analysis didn't help me much, mostly it just said stuff I already knew. I mean he has nothing, a pair, or a draw. No kidding?

That's why you can call, raise or fold. There is no absolute "best" play in this situation, it depends. The conservative play is to call, but if you think he is making a move on your or if you want to create an image of being tough to run over for example you can certainly deviate.

I mean questions like "I got XX and my opponent raised me, what shall I do?" cannot be answered with detailed analysis.

I'm just not really sure I agree with this. I think that I'm just not good enough at poker yet to recognize the best plays in spots like this. Right now they all look the same to me, but maybe at some point I'll realize that one of the lines is going to be the best one the vast majority of the time, or at least I'll figure out which players I should use which line against. I agree that there are some spots where we feel like "well, either he has it, or he don't". But in reality we should be able to place some sort of approximate % chance to his various holdings and figure out a play from there. We need to create a statistical model of our opponents in our brains.
