I'm rethinking my game for my online Poker play. What kind of labels do you use to identify your players when playing MTTs with large fields versus smaller fields. Thanks a lot

Most of the sites allow color coding and note taking. I use both. The color code just indicates how they play in general: green indicates a player I want to be in a lot of pots with. Yellow is a tricky player that I should use caution with, Red means that I should avoid pots with this player unless I have a premium hand. Blue is a calling station. This is just a quick reference as I take notes throughout the game. So, if I am in a pot with one of these players, I refer to my notes to see what I have already observed. For this I use a short-hand system such as: RWC= raises with cheese (junk), CB= continuation bettor (and then I usually write out how they react to a 3 bet to their CB or how they act on the turn), BR= button raiser, BBD= big blind defender, ect.

You'll develop your own system over time but I hope this points you in the right direction.

Interesting. I also use color coding but i color them just opposite, Red is someone i can catch in a pot either bullying bluffing or being a all around horrible player who got lucky at some point to Green being a solid player i want to play straight up no tricky stuff

I use the same red, green, yellow combination. I like the additional calling station color, thanks for sharing.
