if you are always playing the same tournaments you are bound to run into some of the same people. Info you can collect on how people play certain hands in certain situations gives u better reads on what they may be doing next time in a similar situation. I tend to focus on hand ranges, betting positions, and betting patterns

ultra important.

Take notes on anything that you saw that wasnt ordinary.

Take notes on opening and 3b ranges

Take notes on hands that they went allin pre with

Take notes on lines they took with certain strength hands.

Take notes on bet size tells, especially on river

take notes on number of tables he is playing

I take notes in HEM rather than the poker client because when i go through hands in my db, its nice to have all the notes there and they are easily accessible.

i tend not to take many notes, just really weird plays and such, mostly i rely on my hud, and also, i colour code most players after a decent number of hands so i can see at a glance, if they are nitty, or a calling station, or massively agro after the flop etc

"calling BB UTG with AA/KK" or "Raises button with wide range" things like that all specific to the game

I do on occasion take notes if I see a player prone to bluffing or betting aggressively. I also take note of individuals that tend to bet only when they have made their hands. No guarantees in online poker because time, boredom, and other factors often result in inconsistent play.
