Live play has volumes written about reads, online has less to go by so you have to look at their betting styles, hands played to showdown, how aggressive they are with good hands (sets or better) vs weak hands (like middle pair), etc., do they try to steal pots at show down by making pot sized bets, do they slow play straights or do they re-raise 3x bet. 
 
One example of a "good" call I made was when the player on my left checked the turn when the board paired Q's. Now this guy was betting like a maniac when he made a hand. the board was un-coordinated and the river wasn't particurally intimidating. he made a 1/2 pot sized bet from UTG at showdown ($1.20 in a micro game) the CO folded and I was on the button with AA (this was PLO not hold'em so AA has much less value). I thought about it for a couple of seconds and called, he had air. It was how he was betting that lead me to make the call (2 pair is not very good in PLO). I was sure he didn't have a Q, if he made a set on the river he would have bet the pot, if he had a set prior to the river he would have bet in heavy to the FH, I beat any smaller pair so I thought it was worth a call. It was all based on his betting style over the 50 or so hands I saw him play.
