Good job! What did your note on this guy say?

Yeah when it comes to "donks" notes are essential

I write and I am going to give you this letter by letter, but when I see a donk I write:

G r a d e A D o n k e y and that is how i remember.

I like to use hard boiled egg classifications, and if I come across a really really good player, uhhh ummm one thats better then me, which is rare, but if I do, I write deviled egg. A kind poker player , one that allows me to take his blinds and never puts up a fight. I call them good eggs.

ya i wish i could be in better habit of note taking

How many hands do you guys think is appropriate before you can make accurate notes on someone?

I try to never limit myself to no less than 5 sessions which include nothing less than 100 hands per session with each individual player before exacting notes on a player.

I always include the type of tourney when I jot down a note - I've been damaged by using notes from freerolls when I meet a player in a real-money game.

This is a good one I never thought of for future tourney.

I'm still new so I've never even considered taking notes on players! I've seen people in the casinos take notes on their bets...like hands dealt at black jack or whatnot, but never considered it myself. I guess if I ever get into a serious tournament, I will bring my pad and pen :)

Yeah i should take more notes than i do but its hard to take notes that relevant that you can use in the future.

yes all of your notes should be separate - tourney, ring, real money, freeroll - once you start to combine them you are asking for trouble

Notes really help me out sometimes - every once in a while, they mislead me when a player decides to change his/her game. But for the most part, and especially on the PO tourneys where you see the same players daily, the notes are crucial

Notes are a good way to remind me of pet names I have chosen for my poker friends. :)

yea taking notes changed my game, especially playing against donks.. it really pays off!
