Re: Taking notes
I have a two-tiered approach to notes. The first tier is shorthanded notes on how they play specific hands. For example:
db trips 998 v pfr: donkbetted trips on a 998 flop into a preflop raiser.
opfr 78s LMP: open-raised 78s in LMP
bs 22 78o J9o: Stole blind with these hands.
cc JTs: cold call JTs
nsb *** : Appears to not semi-bluff. The three stars mean that I have seen this three times, and is a reasonable read.
The second tier of notes will actually be written in English, which is a descriptive language of his play. This is usually done at the end of a session, and I’m not disciplined enough about doing it. When I do make these notes, it is great when I see a player again, and can quickly get a handle on his play. For example "LAG, likes to open-raise with many hands from MP on (any high card, suited gappers etc) , will play any playable hand very aggressively on flop, from monsters to gutshots, but will rarely completely bluff other than continuation bets”.
