    I think it just comes as you get better at reading hands. Also, when the info isn't useful to you your probably not compelled to think about it.

    This is tough, but I really think it's just a 'practice makes perfect' kind of spot. Certainly being a station over and over in certain spots (ie: going to showdown and seeing their cards), helps get a grasp on ranges.

    Isnt this looking at it top down? I feel like we get better at hand reading because we are better at putting people on ranges. For most it may be on an intuitive level and not a "he has AhXx, 22...", but I have think that ranges come before hand reading

    I think you should always guess what people have every hand you can. See if your right or wrong, and note any factors that made "x" player more likely to have "x" hand. When you do that you get better at reading hands/putting people on ranges. To me, its the same thing.

    I'm betting what makes it hard for OP to put someone on a range is the knowledge isnt that relevant to him. If I see that someone has a certain kind of range it heavily determines what I do in the hand. But for a lot of people, all that matters is if they are bluffing or not. Or if they are strong or weak.

    I don't understand why that when someone has a certain kind of range it heavily determines what you do in a hand but not for a lot of other people.
    What do you mean by this?
