Hi TPE nation.

Long time follower (or should I say stalker), first time poster. Keep up the good job!

I wanted to ask you all what kind of information do you most rely on to quickly establish player profiles at the table.

Aside from seeing hands that make it to showdown, what observations help you put a player in a certain category such as fish, potentially solid player, spewy,….

For example, lines of play I tend to use:

– somone who would consistently open limp instead of raising

– someone who is not consistent in his preflop raise, min raising and out of the blue open raise to 10x,

– lines of play that make absolutely no sense even without seeing the showdown

– plays too many hands

– no pot control whatsoever

– call preflop raises in pos and seems to alway fold to cbets despite being headsup and with pos (no floating)

Just wondering what kind of information you are targetting at the beginning of a new tourney or after being moved to try to rapidly get an initial feeling for the quality of each player at the table.

Or do you just don't attempt to profile players early in the game, just play your abc pokjer early on and keep that stuff for later when making it deeper. Most of you multi table MTTs anyhow so you probably don't have time to overanalyze each table (simply rely on HUD stats after a couple orbits).

Thanks
