"How do these people know if their readers will pick up on your implications the way you want them to?"

We don't. We never do or can know. Even those of use who aren't particularly subtle or ambiguous in our writing.

You write first for yourself. Then if you can you run it by some betas to see a)what you're implying comes though; and b)you're not implying something you DON'T intend. But every reader brings a different take to a work and it's never a guarantee.

This. If you run it by three betas and none of them get it, that means you need to clarify. If they all get it, then you're doing OK. I have had situations where I felt I was being way too obvious to the point of hitting people over the head and people Just Didn't Get It, and there have been times where I've worried about being too subtle and everyone catches the point I was trying to make. Betas help point out what's too subtle and what's not subtle enough.
