At a live table, I try to closely observe my opponents starting with the ones to my two to my right and two to my left and working my way around the table. I note the stereotypical things: gender, age, nationality, clothing style, confidence level, handling of cards and chips, comfort level, etc. I try also observe how many hands they are playing, if they play in position or out of position, if they limp or come into the pot raising, amount of raise, frequency of 3-betting, if they flat a lot, how widely they defend their blinds, if they raise-fold, etc. Based on those things I try to determine if they play professionally, are studied recreational players, or just play for fun. I try to decide which players I want to be in pots with and which ones I want to avoid based on what I perceive to be their skill level compared to mine. In hands, I mostly base my guess on their hand strength on the actions and betting sizes that have occurred in the hand.

In online, I mostly play freerolls so I don't take things as seriously. It is mostly based on my notes about the players if I play them often. Plus, it is about timing, position, bet sizes, board texture, and if "their story makes sense or not."
