Tracking hands at TGC + play type question

[kiemo]

Anybody have any advice on how to track hands at The Gaming Club. I have tried writing down each hand, but there are times when the games move to fast and when writing I miss what other players are doing.


Also tonight at .5/1 10 person table at TGC here are my first 50 hands in order (left to right, BB first on each line).
94o A6o 74o 57s 104s 27o J10o A7s 103o AJo
73o Q8o A5o 95o 94o 94o J7o 82o 44 32s
Q7o 38o Q2o A4o A9o 36o 98o KQo 104o
25s 94s K2o A5o A5o A9o 98o 910o Q3o 106o
Q2o 610o AJs J4o 82o J9o
38o 105o

Since I am a relative beginner I like to play tight, which means in this group I would only play 3 hands AQo and AJsx2 (not including the big blinds that I am checked too).
I realize 50 hands is a very small sample, but these type of hands are pretty much my standard, I find myself getting 2-3 hands out of 50 almost every night that I play and I usually lose these hands to a very inferior starting hand who doesnt seem to mind cold calling bets on each round to chase that 93o to the river to pair his 9 and win.

So am I playing to tight? Should I start taking more chances with the Axo, the small suited connecters, etc.

thanks for the advice

Until you get more experience, I would avoid Axo except that I would complete in SB.

KQo is borderline depending on the table texture. I think it is a good fold.

You may be playing slightly too tight for .5-1--its hard to tell from the hands you posted. For example, 75s is callable in the cutoff with a few limpers.

Personally, I think you can play 44 in any position, but you have to be fairly sure you will have atleast four callers and no raises. Simply drop them as fast as you can if you don't make trips on the flop.

AXs is the next group of hands you should play, but they can be a little more complicated.

The main reason to play tight when you're new is to avoid tricky second-best trap hands. IMO, Small pairs rarely fit in this category.
