Re: Minimal observed hands to identify a loose player
I think you can get useful reads once a villain plays about 3 hands. Not folds, but PLAYS. If he limps in EP and shows down - that's a read. If he limps 3 out of 3, it's a read. If he plays 6 hands out of 10 in an orbit, file him under loose category - that's enough. What did he show down and how did he play?
If he raises 4 out of 5 - that's a maniac. 2-3 orbits are actually plenty, if you are paying attention.
PT stats are far away from converging, but you can surely make first impressions quickly and refine them as hands fly by.
