Energy consuming but not time consuming. You're sitting there with nothing else to do. You should easily be able to understand who's playing a lot of hands. Who's 4 betting. Look at c betting frequencies. Who can't let a hang go on the river.
Plus you have all of the things you don't have online. Poker is very much stereotyping people based on age, culture, sex, skin color, etc. It's all really discriminatory but you're' playing against real people that you dont know so its useful.
You can easily stereotype things like the old guy is tight, the euro players are trash, the young asian guy is overly aggressive, etc. Then adjust based on what you see. It shoudln't take too long. You can also just ask the table. So who's the maniac?
