A tournament poker spin on cash game bet sizing

How do you know if a specific tournament player has won his way in to a large buy-in tournament? Or is used to playing much smaller tournaments?

How do you tell how far in to a session someone is in a live game? Especially with rebuying and such?

I agree that those are excellent concepts to be watching out for but how do you put players in the right categories? Especially in tourneys where obviously there is a lot of random shuffling around of players and its tough to track who is who in the large fields.

Standard.

Many times I'll win 2-3 pots in quick succession from someone, and can sense their growing frustration. Next hand I'll open, and announce to myself 'they will shove here'. In goes their 40bbs or so. It's pretty easy to forecast, yet it happens a lot.

This is a perfect example of one type of thing I am talking about.
