Sat down at a table, scanned the players and made instant decisions on each player based on their looks, dress sense personalities etc?  We often talk about "tells" but do we ever target specific players because of the way they carry themselves?

How often do you get this right?  Should we be making these judgements on players?  Can it be a good skill to have to be able to make an instant decision on someone when generally these opinions are correct?

Thoughts?

Yes, I often see a Welsh player at the table and think he's a fish.  Unless it's Colclough.

As a confused and poor looking student I feel I am insta judged any time I sit at a cash table -scaredmoney.com. I do my best to preserve that as long as possible. I tend to need a few orbits to decide on other players tho.
