I like to ask questions that are much more general than this. Things like:

Is the opponent passive or aggressive preflop?
Is he loose or tight preflop?
Is he passive or aggressive with draws postflop? Is he loose with draws?
Does he overvalue maginal hands?

And other questions which become apparent by watching our opponent play.

I agree Grunch, I think my questions may seem too "specific" but I generally use this info to help me fill out the broader, more important question. If I see my opponent cold-call with J7o I'm automatically putting him in some sort of loose pre-flop category. If he doesn't pre-flop raise with KK or QQ, I'm automatically labelling him in my mind as passive preflop. Thus my specific note actually covers a broad range for the opponent.

Same with post-flop play. If I see someone raise/the flop with a flush draw or a middle pair plus gutshot, I'm putting him as aggressive. If he's calling down with pocket 6's, he's in my mind passive and a good value bet candidate on the river.

I think we're talking about the same thing here but getting there differently, do you agree?
