note taking

Can anyone tell me if the notes you write about other players on certain sites are kept for all time or only for the duration of your play until you log out.I only use the notes on a few occasions but i have never came across any of my notes again which might be due to the sites i play as with pokerstars the chance,s of meeting the same person time and time again is reduced because of the numbers there.
I do remember that on pacific they kept your notes in a file on your own computer as i can access this at any time but i was wondering about the other sites.

As far as I can see it stays there, just saw some notes I took on a player l\before and its still there, this is at pokerstars.

Kept for all time? Most "Yes" & some "Hopefully". Easily accessable? Half "Yes" & half "No".

Some sites store your notes on your hard drive in a text file to be kept forever. You can actually go into those files and manipulate them as you wish. Others either imbed your notes in your operational files or they keep them on their server so you can only see them in the software and hopefully are kept for the life of your account barring any server accidents.

Umm, they stay unless the site is really crap or something. Note that if you're playing SnGs the chances of you running into the same opponent twice in a given short period is minimal. With ring games it's a little more likely.

Regarding Stars, check out notes.txt in yer Stars directory.

I just realized that Titan either has a limit as to how many players you can take notes on, or it deletes your notes after a couple days or a week or something.
Why they wouldn't just make the feature of saving the notes on your PC is a mystery to me, but just thought i'd put that out. I realized it when I was playing in a nightly and realized that one of the players i had previously made notes on no longer had 'em.

I took notes on alot of players and noticed they were deleted. I know I noted them and didn't understand why they were deleted. I have one certain word I use to describe a player and it isn't very nice, but thats how I note somebody . Why they get deleted...dunno. Its partyjoker.

I have notes on more than 200 people at Stars, and they stay where I put them. Pokerstars.exe saves them in a file called "notes.txt". At low limits, there are so many players that it takes quite an amount of note-taking before you end up sitting at the same table as someone again. But keep at it, and you'll soon start seeing more and more of your old pals showing up.

It's very gratifying when you play a hand differently than you normally would have because of a note, and make (or save, of course) money off of it. One of my favorite players is a guy who limps in with 60% of his hands, but raises a small percentage. After about 300 hands with him, it's clear to me that he raises only - but all of - his pocket pairs. I've seen him showdown AK twice, no preflop raise, and I've seen him showdown deuces once - raised preflop. The next note I have on this guy is "when he has a pair, he goes to showdown heads-up" so if he raises preflop, he's going to showdown if I isolate him, no matter what I do. Therefore, I know I can't possibly bluff him out of a pot he's raised PF (and I'm not going to even try), and I know that he'll eagerly call my top pair bets all the way to the river.

I think I may have gotten a bit off topic, but taking notes gets me all excited.

I think Titan also removes buddy list people from time to time.
I've come across people I recognize and know that I added to my list and yet for some reason there is no "shaking hand" next to him.
I need to get better at taking notes.....(kinda back on topic)
