Taking notes on my opponents vs relying on stats

[rufininha14]

I usually take notes on my opponents to make the game easier and better.

 

[KeyPatience]

No actually but I understand that it’s necessary! 😁

As of recently I start to observe behind the players. Read book about poker and came to this. For now I'm only watching the neighboring players

 

[wesje33]

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

Great

 

[wesje33]

That's actually a very good color system, thanks

Great

Sometimes, not every time

I don't really take notes, but I pay attention to what type of hands they play, if they play GTO poker or not. If they go all in with AK or poket pairs. Even if I'm not in the hand I follow the game- do they play aggressively when they have a big hand or do they try to trap with a monster hand? Sometimes it's more interesting to watch how the others play- especially when I don't have any playable hands.

No and also never use a hud

I take notes, but rarely, you need to understand that notes are effective if you often cross paths with the player, but it's very nice when the notes work

I would always prefer to take notes even when not playing the hand...see the handhistory how they played.. Anything not usual I would make a note of the person only if the Poker App allows to take notes...

It's (almost) impossible for someone to take "mental notes" of everybody you see at the tables. So I always try take notes about other players; I try to write about their gaming tendencies and about their strange played hands (if they have it).

 

[flattershay]

I should but I'm too lazy.

 

[Rob Hobson]

I never do it

 

[LUKADONCICMVP]

easy label 90% as donks save your time.

I always take notes, memory fades but notes stay sharp.

 

[cassimiro]

Normaly I take simple notes, to try to understand more the other players, but I need to improve my notes 😅

 

[alucaa]

I usually trust my memory, but sometimes I like to change the color of his character or write next to him what I read about him.

 

[primetime78]

Nah, no note taking.

 

[TheniT]

I know I should be taking notes on the player, but I confess I haven't been doing it; I just observe the player's behavior at the table.

Online, I usually rely on memory, because the good players stick out of the mass anyway and you kinda attach their tendencies automatically. Otherwise, if you play regularily tournaments where most of the field is familiar, and a lot of money is involved, it would probably make sense to take notes.

 

[Magallaneroy]

I don't take notes, but when I'm in the table i try to by aware of the liar's to hunt them.

 

[kmiarka]

When I played regularly the same tournament (180 players, sng) all the time - it was worth it since I was actually meeting same players all round making use of those.

These days I tend to play massive tournaments only and it feels pointless to make notes which I will never read lol xd

 

[kongen1981]

[MAFNL16061986]

[Uncloggie]
