If you're getting most or all of that then you're getting some pretty good reads already.

I try to keep it relatively simple by looking at what plays they seem to have in their repetoire.

I like to try to get a handle on any blind stealing tendencies at the table, anyone who is in love with the play, those who never try it, and who might be ideal victims.

How do they play overcards on a rag flop and how do they play small PP, if they play them at all in most positions.

I'm looking for who will bluff and who seems to fold more readily than average to a bet or a raise.
