Poker is an incomplete information game. The best players are those who watch their opponents, even when they are not involved in the hand, and make notes to understand their technical standards and make more accurate readings in the future.
But, it is quite common not to know what to write down. Making comments like "loose" ("hands") or "tight" (those who play a few hands, or just the best hands) will always be vague and unhelpful.
Although unusual, some recreational players vary the size of pre-flop raise by hand strength, increasing to 2x with strong hands and 3x with weak hands or vice versa.
Some of them also make bigger raises with complicated post-flop hands such as: AQ, A3, KJ, 99, 55. And smaller raises with very valuable hands like QQ, KK and AA.
In these cases, a note is worth as "3x with AK and 2x with KK".
This note may help in assessing the strength of your hand against the range (the combinations of hands that the opponent may have) already in the preflop.
That's why pros recommend keeping a standard raise size so you do not give unintentional information about the strength of your hand. This is also true for re-raises.
RAISE / FOLD WITH PRE-FLOP 10-20BBS
With 10 to 20 effective stack big blinds, several players aim to raise pre-flop bets only with a strong group of hands, especially from the starting and middle positions, as the player loses more than 10% of the stack every time. Gives up against a re-raise.
Taking advantage of this strategic pattern, some players have extended the range of open raise to steal the blinds or balance the range.
Until proven otherwise, a regular player will normally not make raises with weak hands having less than 20BBs.
If the opponent takes such actions, a note such as "raise / fold MP 13bb" will be important to adjust the range of call and re-steal against him in the future.
