Too bad i don't have a super solid memory to remember ALL THE PLAYERS tendencies, opening ranges, position moves, semibluffmoves or checkraise moves.
Too much for me to remember🙂
THATS why i have my notes, so they can't escape me:deal: 😀
But if i did have such a gift i would probably be using it in every game i played whether it be tournament or cash games:joyman:
Instead of asking does memory matters, you should ask how to use the memory as effectively as possible. Yesterday I read a book about "memory hacking" and I learned something very valuable. It said memory masters don't have a better memory, but they know how to concentrate better. That was something I have not realized earlier.
I am one of the worst types to be a poker player, very impatient, and can't focus for a long period (that's why I don't play long tournaments that much), that's why I struggle a lot memorizing complex stuff. I saw this as something to overcome, and I have done that partly.
There are many different memory techniques like memory palace, loci method, PEG system etc. just google them. By these techniques, you can memorize for example any possible ranges you need to use, and actually very easily. I have been very bad at math also, then I saw a video about "mathemagician", and found a book that teaches mental math secrets. It gave me a lot of hope when I saw it is very easy to calculate super complex math problems in a few seconds with not a lot of effort.
If you want to learn memory techniques, I recommend you to google "art of memory". In that site, there is many helpful techniques and forum where you can practice improving memory.
And as a bonus tip: Anki (flashcard App). I add there almost everything I study. It is a super-effective way to learn as fast as possible.
Hope this answer helped.

Memory is very important when it comes to reading players faces at the table in a live game, watching there reactions when a flop hits them, or misses them completely, how they bet in certain situations, all give you information you can use against them in a game.
On-line it is extra hard to play against other players because you cannot see these tells and get as many reads on players, but there is some situations where a good read on a players betting patterns can help you, memorizing these can help you to beat some players bluff's.
When the fun Stops, STOP!

Yes it matters since it helps in the future (later in the game)
Lets say a guy bluffed you 3 times and later in the ft he does a bluff again, but you dont remember the guy bluffing 3 times then it could cost you money.
Or when a player is super bad and you forget that its also gonna cost you money, ofcourse people have huds these days.
But for me its nice to remember or just put a little note on them
just to know what type of player he is otherwise in the long run you will only hurt yourself forgetting these players.

These two points are very important: 1. Memory 2. The notes The notes are almost similar because you take written or mental notes of the way each player plays so that no matter how good a hand you have, you will be able to fold, which is an advantage for every experienced player.
memory
Yes memory matters. when you play and see a weak player betting on so so cards and you go to a different table and then bam he's at a table you got moved to later in the game advantage is yours because you now know you can trap him.

Memory is a key in every sport or game. Experience and skills grow when you remember game situations and opponents tendencies and build on that to make your game better, without it your just capable and prone to keep repeating the same mistakes and bad moves.

yh course if you have above average memory you got a really good tool at your disposal and can analyse compute more info, its like computers your can have a powerful Processor but if the RAM sucks it wont run as well efficiently be able to hold as much strings of info and functions and do stuff with them.
mine sucks for what its worth sometimes feel like i got early onset dementia lol, its always been poor though family always moaned about it
