It can be a nice practice, you have to watch people´s tendencies: what does it mean when do they which thing pre flop, on the flop, turn, river... You have to fiind out tells, that tell you, that your opponent has a weak made hand, which he will fold to a river shove.

Most of the players, not in advanced stages, are using patterns while they play, and the cards they get. So if you play a couple times with them its very easy to read them, and change your game to try and beat them.
In this case i doubt she was reading plays. I believe it was just an aggro game to the extreme, as she does most of the times, and very lucky at the same moment.
