I have been trying to focus more on taking good notes while playing 4 tables. Basically I'm trying to keep hand histories open all the time so I can see how people are playing their hands. I don't worry about whether the person is limping with garbage as pokertracker will quickly reveal that.

The types of things I take note of:

Preflop:

Coldcalling - with what and after how many callers?
Open limping in late position - this is usually a sign of a weak/bad player.
Completing/calling raises in the blinds.
Ignorant of position.

Post-Flop:
Plays fit or fold
Will call down (or play aggressively) with bottom/second pair
Will call down with overcard(s)
Will play draws aggressively
Will bet until meets resistance (only heads up or into a large field?)
Will fold to any resistance
Will usually peel one off
Slowplays (and with what)
Check/raise capable
Bluff capable

I do not agree with this one and you will probably find that if this is the case they are just weak/tight (most good multitablers will still be playing the situation, taking good notes and punishing weaker players):

multitabling? (normally if ppl are multi tabling, esp 3+, i notice they end up paying attention more to the cards they have and if they hit they will continue, I tend to do the same thing)
