colour coding for cash games?

#1 26th January 2012, 2:56 PM

sounds like a super fishy question, but was just wondering what colours the CC members used for tagging people.. seriously need to start but have no clue which ones to use for what?

Any you like, everyone's different, just whatever you'll remember which will be any once you get used to doing it

I'm on Merge so I am a bit more limited. But I use the chip avatars to mark people.

Red chip for nits.
Yellow chip for mediocre/solid players.
Green chip for fish.

Really all this helps me to do is when I am looking through the lobby to start a session to see how good a table is quickly. Once I'm at the table, I will look at my notes and stats.

Here's what I use.

Green for fish, orange for nits, red for TAGs/regs

All I use now is green for fish, i'm a FR player so this is anyone over 30 vpip i tag green, i can quickly scan the lobby and any green just jump straight on.

Used to have a coding system like red - reg, yellow - passive, green - fish, blue - stay away, but I can get all that from my HUD within 1 hand of a new table and often before ive been dealt in the stats will pop up and I can decide whether im going to stay or not so no need to colour code imo

I agree ^^ the fish are by far the most important to label

I also just tag fish and I often do it on the1st hand at the table.

Post OOP except from the CO? Fish
Sit with less than 100bb? Fish
Open limp? Fish

Gotta tag em fast because they generally don't last too long.

I do exactly the same thing, instagreen. However, I'm not sure why you make an exception for posting in the CO.

Well because I have seen a handful of regs who wait to post from the CO every time they sit down. So while I'm still generally leaning toward fish, I don't code them as such just for posting.

I used to have an elaborate color-coding system on Stars, but since I can't play there anymore I've only recently moved to merge. So far just tagging the fish plus any really LAG players. I tend to be a **slight** bit nitty and LAGs give me trouble so I make sure I tag them.

I'd recommend you do the same. Tag the fish plus whatever player type that gives you the most trouble. Works pretty well. One tag for those you want to play against, one for those you don't. Couldn't be simpler.

I use

red - TAG
orange - LAG
green - Fish
yellow - Station (different than fish!)
brown or other - Rock/Tight Passive
