If it's an option at a poker site, I will try and keep just notes on certain players "betting" habits. It's a simple way to help when you find yourself on the fence about calling an opponents bet or raise. I understand that betting habits are not carved in stone and change frequently, but it at least gives you slight edge when you track them.
Absolutley, in fact I share notes with a couple of friends. The more you know about the people you are playing against the better off you are.
Good lord yes, it's a MUST MUST that you keep notes on users. You can always go back and say, hey this guy is loose - aggresive.. Or always continues a preflop raise etc..
So important
keeping good notes is very important it can help you get a read on players , the type hands they play and the amount they bet with certain hands.
Some players seem to be a jinx, so if you have bad luck against them, its wise to make a note of it. They might even be cheating, so be wary of them. Keep a close watch on them, avoid taking risks against them, avoid getting involved with them, etc. The color codes are a simply way to do that (say, just flag them with red as a warning flag, if something bad happens when you are involved in a hand with them :-)
I keep notes only when I play double or nothing, because theres players who play it very often, so I know what I`m dealing whit. But any other game, I`m just playing like always. I know I should make notes as often as possible, but I`m not playing for a lot of money, so it makes no difference. Anyway its anybodys call how to keep up his game.
Can certainly help the game. Last week had 2 guys that was quite impossible playing against them, but not for me... with my notes I knew positively how to handle each situation.
i keep notes if its lets you .. mainly what i played them at, date, how much the stake was if i won or lost and how they played sometimes
most definately.playing online is way different than live and being that you dont get as much information as you can playing live every little bit can make the difference.though some people may change their game to adjust to certain situations ,you would be surprised at how many dont.taking notes is well worth the little time it takes.
well . u can obtain more information at online than live when u use HEM or PT3 .
I've just recently started taking notes on other players. I had only taken notes on ppl that go "all in" every hand, or continuously bet big with nothing, or position bet. That has help me a few times. I'm hoping your posts will help me also :).
I have notes on almost every opponent faced. I don't let my opponents dictate how I play them. That's their lie to believe. The notes give me an emotional edge, and I let my opponent absorb all negative emotional energy that remains uncollected. Nothing is free.
I have never taken notes on a player. I have used the notes to label friends but thats about it.
Notes help me a ton. I typically have this habit of labeling people by country.. Like for instance Scandi countries loose \ aggresive. This gets me in trouble because they all arent. So I switched to labeling the person instead of the country
I don't do it near as often as I should.
I usually only keep notes on the players that play really loose. That makes it easier to call or fold in big pot situations.
the only way to pick on someones stack is to have lots of notes on them been playing for a couple years on full tilt poker and i have played in quite a few buyin leagues and lots of forums have to say i probably have over 200 notes on players 60 or so that i seem to play alot with it helps to know and to remeber the players you play with knowing there betting habits helps to respect a bet or to reraise it cheers dadsrus
