I preffer more of "play" kinda notes like donks TPTK+dro or somthing of that sort. Generally speaking if you have someone who bets 3x with strong ~3%of hands and 2x with ~25% of hands you have a fish near you =) Most reg have standars 2.2-2.4 bb OR betting patternt to net get exploited easy.
In addition PstFlp notes are more importaint as people with bad OS ranges withing ~15bb blind stacks lose fast not to concider tham regs by any means.

Showdowns... who, what, when, where, for how much, bets beforehand... though honestly after a good shove or three, my main network (Chico) moves you to another table.

i am interested to highlight the tournaments which opps participated as well as me (i.e. tournament name, date held), and final table arrival. Depending on play session duration and results (how often i will meet the final table attendees) i do some revision of my previous notes.

interesting theme !!

A few days ago I talked to a friend about this topic of taking notes, and it is absolutely beneficial, I took the habit for a long time and it has given me results. Whenever I enter a tournament with the mode where I play regularly, I get with players who have my notes and I know how is their game.
How do I make the notes? information on how they played a certain significant hand, resurrected pre flop and continued betting. all that information is good!!

in my case I do not take information from my opponents since I change a lot of table, I do when I am in the 27 players of some tournament, I analyze tables and plays of all players, so I can know a little more when I change when you reach the bubble

Information is interesting, but not practical, because in practice it is not so. It does not want to do notes, everything in my head

i'll make notes of anyone who stands out. If a player acts like a normal poker player i won't make a note. If he tries to bluff me i'll make a note so i know for next time.

in each individual tournament I play differently, and I'm sure that everything is written like a fish, and it inspires me when luck holds two aces for me.
although I remain a fish and with two aces

Good points in your post. I usually post more specific observations such as are they aggressive, constant raiser, easy to read bluff a lot etc. that way as i go through tournaments if I see my notes associated with a player I at least have some incite I like your approach from a more technical perspective.

Hello ! I would advice you to try to catch players that pay rather easily (shoves preflo and draws), then you are aware about 2 things :
- player you cannot/shouldn't bluff ;
- player against you can get an easy great value with your strong hands

During the tournament, we can modify the table a few times, and each time, when you get a whole new set of opponents.
When you play against the same opponents in your regular poker game, you have to make some remarks. In addition, there is a possibility of almost any poker site, and even more in your Tracker program. This makes the game easier.

This makes the game easier. this will serve us in case When we change tables and we see these players at other tables, we would no longer be in expectation of how we should act before these players to whom we have put a note, to know their type of game.
