of course taking notes and tagging players is so important but its useless if your game is so bad, if you re a bad player just focus on improving you game rather than playing by notes trying to exploit players and deviating without knowing the base line its just stupidity imo.
 
Tendencies: trash talk, drinking, bluff-ability (measured in stones..an archaic British term for weight or colloquially for balls)...these kinds of things can be noted and are useful. HUD statistics can only ascertain the latter and indirectly at that.
TeUnit's response is a good one, these are tools but only in the hands of those that recognize their worth.
 
notes are very useful especially if the same players are caught in the cache for example
 
I always take notes on my opponents. With them everything becomes more transparent when taking action.
 
I do. I use Jivaro HUD but still taking notes, they provide special info and the game is all about information!
 
I've taking notes on players ever since it was made available and I'm always updating when I can. It seems to give me a lil bit of an advantage rather than having no notes at all. So if you are reading this I probably have some note on you lol

I make notes, because it helps me to recall how players handle situations that may arise in the future. I don't fully rely on them, but I have found them to be helpful when making a decision.
 
Remembering the donks vs real game

Yes I take notes on players that are horrible and makes bad moves and get rewarded for it. and players that play tight and only premium hands. and to watch out for them. good luck everybody at the tables and good luck and as always have fun
 
I am using PT4 and and it's creating most of the notes by itself so i highly recommend it. Sometimes i will create a one of my own but only for specific plays.
 
I take notes on many players especially the ones that show bluffs or make really bad plays. I am definitely trying to use that information at a later time. Many times I make big calls or folds based on certain notes.
 
I prefer to do it only on special players so that if I meet in the future and know how to act
 
I sometimes notice aggressive players and try to be at the same table playing with them more carefully
 
Notes

I take notes on players, not all, that have odd table traits/behaviours. I also take notes on regulars that I meet in the cash games noting personal things like family member names, or things they mention in passing (I'm old and forgetful). I also title the colour groups and you don't want to be in my red group, if you know what I mean. I find it's helpful and it doesn't take a lot of time at all to do. See you at the tables!
 
I take notes, but rarely, and mostly on some maniacs or any2 callers playing in CC freerolls. In general, I think it is very helpful practice, especially concerning the players you come across often.
 
I take notes, they are very helpful. I just personally don't know how to use the other HUD or whatever was mentioned, some are legal (legit with some poker programs )and some are not'/?
 
I never use notes because there are tons of players in microstakes and i feel i lose my time
 
WHEN I play an important tournament I open a few more tables from the same tournament, it often helps me, for example last night monitoring other tables I noticed that AK in SMOLL loses the hand .... I get AKo in smoll, one gives reise another ALL- IN, I'm folding !!! To see the flop AK8, Q, T. AJ win AA loose.Good fold on Pokerstars
 
Donkey, Bingo player, Idiot, Multiple account cheat, Has no clue wtf he doing

Yea .. always "note" every crazy move , and "tag"every weird player .
Don't ever be lazy about that .. it will save you alot.

I've always been a HUGE note taker. I also 100% agree that there are many players who will have a similar playing style... with similar tendancies (years ago I would assign color tags to these styles I had listed (with over 10 different player types at one point)).

And for sure you will constantly run into the same players even in tournaments with massive fields. The bigger your note base becomes, the more you will see them (obviously). Back on Fulltilt I had a massive amount of notes & would keep them stored on a memory stick which I would update regularly. There would be occasions where I would be in a tournament with 100 players remaining & I would have notes from previous occasions on over half of them. In Sng's I would regularly have previous notes on the entire table (in the 45mans).

I played a ton of private games back then, across a couple dozen different sites (or more). It was the same pool of 2 or 300 players from countries all over the world (with some different ones in each group/forum/club, etc.). Extensive notes in those games helped me to get some great results! (I used to do okay in the CC games too)

I grinded the 45s n 90s back in the day at FTP. What levels did you play?

As for the note taking, DEFINITELY a good idea. Will help make decisions easier in the future for sure.
