When you play against an unknown, what are the first things you pick up? Esp. things like timing tells, bet sizes etc.

probably vpip, because that only takes 25 hands - I'm still a big believer in small sample stats because I think it's much more reliable than 1-2 single observatinos.

I do however take care to make sure and check showndown hands in showdown pots and often I can tell if a player is poor in 1-2 hands. (this is not something special, most can do it).
