Do you use notes on players or rely on memory?

[Nesehorn156]

When playing online, I’ve seen some players take detailed notes on opponents, while others just rely on general memory and tendencies.

I try to take notes, but I don’t always stay consistent with it.

Do you actively use notes, and do you think they give a big advantage over time?

I used them a lot previously, now since i play less, i tend to play more casual

I have a notebook with some notes I make on players when I play live and online. Sometimes it helps but it depends on how predictable the opponent is.

I usually play small MTTs, I don't make notes because it's usually just the same players (small circle) playing the games, now I've memorized that player A like to bluff in this spots etc

I usually put notes on players and avoid to memorize unusual plays

Hi, I would say, yes, having notes on specific opponents will give you a big advantage, especially when your opponents do not suspect that you or others might have notes of them.
Same thing goes into the backeards direction, people might have notes on you, which is why it is advised to have notes on yourself, and trying to balance your stats out to stay unpredictable and or unreadable.
I personally use GGPokers feature to mark random players in different colours, but there is also an option to save notes on the players.
888Poker has basically same feature with options to matk players as sharks, lions, fish donkeys, which is quiet funny.
