Taking notes on my opponents vs relying on stats

Bakersquid · Sep 24, 2025

You should always notice how a person plays everyone has a certain tell or style so it may help in tricky positions

Ao jogar online, você toma notas sobre outros jogadores para lembrar suas tendências ou confia na memória?

I always do

veszmo · Sep 24, 2025

Yes, this is very useful, I also use the HUD

Stringy · Sep 24, 2025

dont take notes but sometimes i label an opponent on 888 with one of the animals

moraeskvmi · Sep 24, 2025

I make short notes, but since I always play the same grid, I always find the same players, so it's easier!

kolan90 · Sep 24, 2025

Sure, and it works.

I sometimes take notes if I see a player trend towards certain plays or styles over a period of time. I do use a lot of color coding, putting players into different categories (fish, blaster, nit, over aggro) which I'll change if I see its needed.

For the majority of players you'll meet, I think its a waste of time to make many notes since you'll likely not see them again or have any meaningful interaction with them, or they're just generic players and no notes are necessary.

Yes, I have learned to take notes on a player that continues to go all in, even before a flop or I know one is a bluffer.

Tadi · Sep 24, 2025

I always make notes about my opponents. They are useful. In our country there is a saying “Clever writes, a fool remembers”.

ArmiSoo7 · Sep 24, 2025

I always use them on crazy players.😃
Players who play Bingo are crazy, so I mark them with red note, to be ready .

hilary antonik filho · Sep 24, 2025

I play at so many tables that it's hard to take notes.

martinoni · Sep 24, 2025

Usually yes, mainly on MB Tournaments Players

fishvolatil · Sep 24, 2025

When anything draws my attention and I have the bandwidth, I do try to take notes in order to understand their play style better, it's still important to remember though that the craziest loose aggressive player can be out there with a good night when it's your turn to play against them

Vrotebal · Sep 24, 2025

This needs to be done more often, it will help in future distributions.

ninocabral · Sep 24, 2025

The notes are very important to get an idea of the player who is playing and the way he plays

Tinmar · Sep 25, 2025

In person it makes more sense I think since you can read much more than their raise/call percentage, and also it is easier to remember.

Sschafell · Sep 26, 2025

Yes, but there are some sites that don't have this option.

dangbaonguyen93 · Sep 26, 2025

I always take notes, I used Hud before, and I spent over 6 months watching live streams of my local club matches to sort out opponents

chicbulls2 · Sep 26, 2025

you have too, but you have to do it all the time

yomarianob · Sep 26, 2025

I rarely take notes. I just label some players (fun players, very aggro players, decent-thinking players).

I would like to take more notes, but I just don't really know what to note down that would be helpful in future hands. Any advice?

gardenwall · Sep 26, 2025

Hey Livio,
i highly recommend using the platform's built-in features. Focus on opponent tendencies and betting patterns, and use key information like player types (e.g., tight-aggressive, maniac) and important hand details (e.g., significant bet sizes, board cards). Organize your notes with a consistent system and review them regularly.
But always be careful, we all learning and getting better.

I wish you good luck,
Natox

Diman111 · Sep 27, 2025

Sometimes you have to

fernandovr · Sep 28, 2025

Yes, taking notes on opponents’ patterns and tendencies helps a lot in making better decisions in the future.

Dimidrol2 · Sep 28, 2025

I take notes all the time, and it sometimes helps.

theStarfish · Sep 28, 2025

Yes, I try to take notes if I notice something interesting about a player
