[Closed] Player Notes

Write anything that you find useful for yourself.
For example I play hu sng and my notes look smtx like that:
Checked 2nd pair(K) in position otf, ott, otr after my checks ob dry board.
donkbet = 80% means 2nd or bottom pair
small bets = weak, big bets = strong
3bet very light or 3bet very strong
plays draws passive or agressive
or once played guy who was difficult to beat. But I found that he has big problems facing check raise otf so my note = to beat - checkraise flop light

One thing taht's helped me is using short-hand notes for things that you can't see in the HUD.

I like to arrange these for each street, with a general player note on the first line. For example:

1 tbl
PF: 3B=TT, 99, AJs, Limp/3B=AA
F: AI=TPWK, SP=S, FH
R: BL=made FL

This is my code for plays just one table so maybe recreational player, 3-bets reasonably wide, thinks he's 'clever' with AA/KK, on the flop he may stack off lightly and slowplay sets and full-house, while on the river sometimes bluffs scare cards like 3rd flush card even if he doesn't have it. Maybe you understood the above anyways... ♦

Whatever saves you time, and something you can understand easily.

I personally feel it's quite important to include a rough date in the notes, as just like you, many opponents grow in their abilities.

Something like:

30/8/11- pfr-cb50% 37Jr, -cb50% Ts, c/c Th w/35o

some nice posts already :-)
in addition to the date I'd like to also note the limit and game type I played
as it makes quite a difference if I play him on 2/4 FL or NL25

Amazing extra input, I hadn't thought about that! Thanks!

Thanks for the replies so far. I'm definitely going to start doing what you guys are doing. I always underestimate notes, but on the platform I'm using I've noticed a lot of the same players already even at the micro tables.

Nice!

Never really thought much about that, but it could be important.

my notes looks like :

UTG limp/call K :diamond:JT7 flop J :diamond:9 :spade:2 c/c 3/4 pot, turn 3 c/c 3/4 pot, river A bluff donk pot

and my question : i really need to make notes in graphic form(exactly like in my example), is it possible here in ps make closed thread/private blog where i can write graphic notes on players ? or other ideas how to do it ?
its so much quicker to see notes on plo hands in 4 color graphic form(compared to KdJT7d) on villains past hands during actual playing.

That's a really good article for notes, mainly the 2nd page if you're looking for a system that's concise but effective.

you might also think about this article if you're an MTT player. Fresh off the press from MiikkaAnttonen:

Taking Notes is the Nuts!
