Well to construct an opponent's range in a tournament, I always min-raise or bet 3x BB to get some information out of opponents. It narrows the range if an opponent calls your 3x BB raise pre-flop like I would think Ax suited or mid/top pairs.

However, it's kinda hard to do this pre-flop at low stakes and as a free-roll player, I've been destroyed by players who call my 10x BB raise (when I have AA) with 79o and then flop top two pair (board is 579 rainbow). Pretty frustrating to be honest, but I can usually discern their range by the turn or river by betting on the flop with half pot. In the prior situation, I call the villain's shove because my pocket aces will hold. The villain reveals and I nearly throw my laptop out of the window because I had placed the villain on a Kx or Ax hand or maybe JJ.

I use only my observations at the table

Definitely just watch the other players at the table as much as you can. Play less tables so you can focus on just one group of opponents. I think that makes a big difference.
