I recognize sets.. but only after they've slowed played them all streets and I shove all in to lose at showdown. I hate, hate when people slow play. I usually make a note on them just so I can do it to them in the future.

But as for weaknesses, when tournaments get down to 15ish-more-til-the-bubble-breaks, I generally just fold, even pocket aces or kings (if someone with a bigger stack than me shoves, that is). It's a bad strategy, and more often than not I blind down to a below-average stack when the bubble does finally break. I just hate putting myself at risk when it's so close. Playing not to lose vs playing to win is something I really need to work on.

Cash games are also a weakness. I can't profit from them *at all*. Was talking to a friend recently and he said, "Just bet when you have it." But to me, the other players should recognize this after a few hands.  Have been reading some books lately though, trying to get better.

As far as strengths- not tilting. I see people get angry and just aimlessly shove repeatedly after losing a big hand- I try to avoid that. Every hand is different.
