Note Taking

#1 18th November 2007, 3:00 PM

Until quite recently, I only used the poker room notes facility very infrequently. However, as the facility is there it seems stupid not to make use of it. So, over the past 2 or 3 weeks I’ve started to use it more often. At present, I mainly use it to build a better idea of villains likely preflop raising range. For example, one player in particular I have noted seems to raise from any position with a suited ace, plus the standard premium hands. Of course, it’s possible to put a player on a likely range based just on the frequency of their PFR, but having the notes there I find it quite useful when deciding how to act on their raises.

I would not want to make copious amounts of notes as I’m concerned that could be counter productive. However, I would be interested to hear if others use the note taking facility and what they use it for.

Regards

Boltneck.

On a personal note, I've found that making decisions based solely on your notes is a bad idea, but they are a great help in making marginal decisions.

Many thanks for the link - the information in it was very helpful, and exactly what I was looking for.

Good insights. I haven't taken advantage of note taking up until now. It is a great resource and could potentially make all the difference in a game.

I was searching for a way to up my note taking also. The categories in that thread, I think were just what I was looking for. Thanks for bringing that back up.
