When I do it, It is usually to study one person. By focusing on just one person I can "play" along with them and see maybe why they are doing what they are doing. I find it's too much for my old brain to try and study more than one person at the time.If I'm in a tourney, I'm in it totally focused. If I want to study players, it has to be with the tourney adrenaline turned off.
To study effectively, I cannot have skin in the game. Also, it hits home to a lot of players to watch the person who got lucky, at your expense, climb up and up the ladder. Most players prefer not to watch after their battleship has been sunk.
I've found that by watching my competitors after being eliminated from a tournament is a great tool to use as a studying aid. Because I'm not involved in trying to focus on playing, I can focus on people and get some good perspectives on their play. Do you just exit out after being eliminated or do you study opponents?
