how many hands should it take before you have a good idea on how somebody plays? are you able to have a good idea after as little as one hand?

When I first start out in a cash game. I will watch how things are going within the table before I sit down to play. Then I will not play anything unless is pocket aces or kings for about ten hands, to see what people do with that ten hands. Then ask your self, how many people raise, how many people called the raise, how many people check to the raiser, and watch for betting patterns

It takes quite a few hands before you can actually pinhole a player, within a few rounds you can have a decent idea, but you can just find variance whre a loose aggressive gets no cards or a nit goes on a rush. You jsut have to make the best reads you can based on the information you have.
