Player Notes

Player Notes ?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Just wondering what systems some of you use to keep tabs on the other players at the tables?
I use my own short-hand/code version of the system listed in the book "Killer Poker Online 2". Its pretty good and has done me right so far but I feel there has to be something better out there.

So please explain any short-hand codes or labels you all use to track players and their habits.

i just note, passiveness and aggressiveness mostly oh and who the fish/good players are but thats easy without noting. i use a pokertracker so it does a lot of that for me automatically

the problem is that bad poker player can learn - but youll never change the note..

they are good to remember how ppl play or if you just want to remind yourself what an ass that person is

on a site as small as merge's sites, a tracker is amazing because even at micro stakes, overtime you'll have information about most of your field

dont have anything written down on anyone except those who are rude. i may do a very few at cash tables if they are either on hot streak or cold streak and include the dates.

I don't feel the need to note players, just play proper and let the game take you away.

I don't use player notes. When I am in a tourney I can remember how people are playing, and I normally remember if they are moved off my table and later moved back on. It is too much work to keep track for later tourneys. XD

I usually list some of hands theyve played and what their tendencies are. Usually when I see the specific hand, I'll remember who they are and how they play. I dont use the "donkey", "aggressive", or other words to describe players. You can usually just figure that out by playing little bit with them.

I guess it depends on how detailed you want your notes, you can note all players and there positions like utg, utg+1 em,(early middle) mid, lm(late middle) late, button etc.. then note if they fold ,call, raise and so on. You can get pretty involved if you choose to

i never used notes....never played against someone THAT important who deserved it ....... :D

i do niot take notes only once in a while if they really tick me off

I keep notes on playing styles ...what people shove with and in which position and I colour code tightness to looseness

dont have anything written down on anyone except when i win smth or loose most often in SnG's because i do like 50 of them in a row..

I rarely write anything down. I used to when I first started playing, but when playing on pokerstars, you hardly every get to meet the same players again.

I use mental notes, but hell who knows LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i use more tags than notes, as shark, fish, crown, whale, chip for cautious, if i use notes its PGH (plays good hands) or aggress. will min raise with big hands. stuff like that. good luck

Don't use a lot of notes. But do tag a lot of players and keep mental notes.

Well i tag alot of players and i have notes on most you wouldn't believe what i wrote believe me it's not good and usually when i'm at a table looks like a fishbowl with little gold fishes

My notes or annotations are more generalities which I do not use as the only factor in my decisions. They simply help me make the determination. They are not the only cause for my decisions.
