A trick or tip that is stupid but gave me some insight was to take a deck of cards and deal out different tables sizes and then look at each set of hole cards in order to see what you should do. It also allows you to get a look at what hands get dealt.
I started this experiment when I was new to the game and did not understand why it was ok to raise with KJ suited just before the button and fold when first to act. So I dealt out a table of 10 hands over and over again to see what would happen and then looked at the hands everyone got. Then to whole idea of position made more sense.
I did it again recently. I started with heads up and worked my way up to a full table of 8 to 10 people. Sounds boring but looking all starting hands for a table of 10 gave some insights into what everyone possible could be holding and some traps that happen when two monster hands collide.
P.S. was reminded of this by looking at the battleplan thread started by KJ https://www.cardschat.com/showthread.php?t=64729
