What stats do you really look at in your opponent during an MTT?

Aggression Factor?
Preflop Raises?
Called Raises?

Thanks

Personally, I use Holdem Manager, but it is similar to PT3. VPIP, PFR, and Aggression Factor are the basics. Also useful in MTTs, especially in the mid-game, are:

Steal percentage
Fold to a Steal
C-bet Percentage
Fold to a C-bet

When using any form of HUD in tourneys, be aware that sound tourney players change their style of play as the blinds rise, and that statistics are therefore not necessarily as reliable a guide to the player`s tendencies as you might expect in a cash game.

^^^ This is important, but the software is getting better at helping with this. Although I haven't delved much into yet, I believe a recent update to HEM added the ability to break down stats based on levels or stack sizes. Or at least I was reading about it coming soon. I do know with the last update they have a new popup that shows VPIP/PFR broken down by stack size, position, and action. But I recall reading on their forums about applying that to regular HUD stats -- I just don't remember if it was out yet. PT3 probably is doing something along those lines too, I would expect.
