Want to see live stats for the players currently at your table? Combine PokerInspector with PokerTracker and the "Players" page on Poker Inspector can show you up-to-the-minute information about the players you're facing. Great way of seeing how loosely everybody's playing. We use this while playing single-table "sit-and-go" tournaments - if we see someone is playing over 60% of their hands after 10-15 minutes, we know who we'll be taking chips from.
