Keen observation is key. Most players will play a very predictable game, and after many hands the type of playing style they use will become more and more apparent.

Use the note function that most software offers and be sure to note anything unusual in their play.

I usually assume every player is a fish until proven otherwise.

Make sure to keep adjusting your notes as you see fit. But be aware that even the most "predictable" player can and will do something that will sruprise you.

I find the best notes to take are: what hand range do they open with from EP, MP and LP. What is their limping range from these positions. How do they react to people raising their limp (do they call/fold/3bet). How do they react to being 3bet.

Then post flop you should keep an eye on how they play hands oop. Do they check/fold a lot, do they like to float and bet the turn.

Try to keep this going for all positions.

Now, I know it's nearly impossible to keep very detailed notes on many players while a game is in progress, but it's up to you to devise a system that will help you recognize certain traits in players, without having to take your eyes off the action for too long.

And yes, if my post seems scattered it's because I just had 3 cups of really strong coffee and I am feeling a bit scattered at the moment... :)
