Default Re: Notetaking

I do it just like you do. When a player pops up with notes I refresh my mind. I may have to take several peeks. If I find his style has changed then my notes will change. Garland taught me to keep notes of CB and both pre- and post flop minraises. I only play one table so its not hard for me to keep up.

My first note on every player looks like this:

(600-6)::LP-A(D)::L@700

Translated this is $600 6-Max. LP-A speaks for itself. The D means this type of player is a donator. The last stat is a Loser at 700 hands. I use GT+ so it takes a new player a couple of hands to pop up, and I found that sometimes I need to know NOW! If there is a big jump in the hands played since I last noted then it's up to me to pay attention. That's the best I've got.

Good notes are better than none, unless their wrong.

I think another point to keep in mind is that there are players keeping notes on us. Confusion to thine enemies.

There are some obvious gaffs that one doesn't make using PT. I note these people don't use it.

Me too, but I just go to PT and type in the guys name if need be, only takes a few seconds

But as too notetaking, honestly I'm just too damned lazy. I might look into an automated thingy though

What about consolidating notes at the various crypto sites? Is there a way to do it through PT so that you keep the whole note from each site?

I just write specific hands that I think are interesting ("raise/called preflop, checkraise all-in on K42 flop with 99") and general notes ("calls flop and folds turn often vs PFR").

I do stuff like this too. Basically I'm just looking for anything unusual. If I've played with someone for a while and I still haven't noted any hands from them, I'll just write some general impressions of their play (solid, too loose but not stupid, overaggressive but not manical).

I also like to take notes on what it takes to make the guy fold. For example, raise preflop bet flop bet turn check-fold river gets written up immediately (along with the board cards). Whenever someone minbets, they get a note on whether or not they folded to a raise. These are the tools I'll use to decide whether to bluff this guy in the future.

Also I almost always take notes on what a player does when it's checked to him on the river and his hand has no showdown value.

Any reads that I have any doubt about I use a question mark. This might be because I've seen them do something several times but only one hand was shown down, or I've seen them do something several times but I've also seen another hand which contradicts my read. It could also be something like "never bluffs?" which takes a very long time to be certain about.

Does anyone know if it's possible to edit Party Poker notes in Poker Tracker while using the hand replayer?
