As a regular OSL player I have been trying to take notes on player but most of what I have done is just taking their hole cards when I see them. Does anybody have a more effective way of taking notes of those in the table? And I still do not have a HUD to assist me.

I have here a sample hands that you can use to show how I might get an effective notes and data for good use. Let us just assume that the hero is the one we need to take notes.

MP1 10,872 (6.8 bb)
MP2 23,924 (15 bb)
MP3 Hero 9,405 (5.9 bb)

BTN 20,247 (12.7 bb)
SB 26,181 (16.4 bb)
BB 8,155 (5.1 bb)
UTG+1 9,690 (6.1 bb)

notes should not be a 100% rule of how your plays but generalizations. For exmp. you can note on what is his 3bet calling range/4 beting.
Does he donk with nuts/monster to make you 3bet you good pairs.
Can he float turn with flush dro?
How often does he check-raise,is he checking closed dros on turn, or slowpalyng them in general that kinds stuff.
With the hands you posted you should post your ops hands, so you can make an assesment how they play. For exmp in the 3d hand it's intersting to know with what CO big stack is trying to get in to a 3 way pot with short stacks.

Thanks Asedu. I'll try and review some of my hand history and apply this method.
