I don't think hand reading is much different online that it is live.

Look at the cards on board and the way your opponent is betting and try to factor in any previous tendencies he/she has shown. Same as in live play.

Good luck,
Matt

for example, in a simple form:
your opponent makes a strong pre-flop raise.
the flop brings an ace, and he starts betting it is obvious that he has an ace, with a good kicker. or let's say that he shows littl strenght preflop, and the flop brings 2 spades, and he shows little strength, and the turn brings another spade, and he starts showing a lot of strenght he has made his flush. this is at the most basic level of reading opponents.

With the help of pokertracker and looking at the card on board, you can read a range of hand( depending on his betting patern) that he could have.

I posted something similar to the OP.

Someone said that you just get a feel. This may be true but there has to be a thought process that you go through to decide if your KQo that you raised on the cut off which gets 4 callers and then the rainbow flop 723 is checked around, do you read that as strength or weakness, if it takes 10K hands to get a hand on your own stats how can you predict someone elses actions if you have only played with them for 20 min? So the turn is a 7. UTG goes all in, Is he holding a 7, or maybe a 3x, what do you base these decisions on?
