Note Taking and Multi-Tabling, is it done?

[ebaudry]

To date I have been playing two $30+3 STT at Party, taking extensive notes on basically every hand (perhaps 95%). I have felt that these notes have significantly assisted my reads later in the game when assessing card ranges for my opponents as well as blind stealing and blind defending tendencies.

I am now trying to play 3-tables and take detailed notes, but I am finding that I really can't quite keep up the same notes as before and perhaps note 50-75% of my opponents play. Partly this is me not yet acclimating to the new speed at which I need to read the hand history while playing 3 tables. But it seems unlikely that if I were to go to 4-tables or more that I would ever be able to take the sort of notes I am accustomed to.

So:

1) Are multi-tablers (3+) keeping lots of notes, a few notes, or basically no notes at all?

2) If I just need to let go of my "note-blankey" in order to play more tables, what notes are of key relevance and "must" be noted when multi-tabling STTs?

3) Do multi-tablers take many notes about their own image at a given table at a particular time?

4) It seems slightly faster to make notes about how to play against another person than it is to makes notes about exactly what they did. Problem is that the read could later be mis-interpreted, so: better to note actions or exploitable tendencies?

Thanks a lot for any input.

Also, I would be eternally grateful for anyone who could point me towards threads on 2+2 about notes.
