Should I be keeping notes on players?

I have a pretty good memory for names and stuff, and I remember names from tables, but not always specifics, does it really help that much?

It seems an awful lot of bother?

The very last hand of the night goes to Dewi James, who finds ACES and talks Raymond O’Mahoney into calling his all-in preflop bet of 15k.  “If I had AQ, I’d call!” says Dewi.  Raymond calls holding pocket 66’s.

so next time you play them, you can have a quick glance at your notes to see what sort of players they are and the types of decisions they make.

Just simply writing things like FISH, SHARK, ROCK, LOOSE, etc is an effective start.

Then perhaps you can say things like 'flatcalls aces under the gun', 'always makes the continuation bet', 'Always pays off a value bet' and so on.

Hope that helps.

It's not so bad live, because you are playing less players and less hands. With the visual images, your brain finds it easier to remember specific situations and is able to recall past experiences. Online however, everything feels the same, so the notes are crucial in recollecting information gathered from past hands.

Yes i make note on all players i play against. I do this as every piece of info you can on an opponent is vital. For example what kind of hands do they raise with. So if your holding aj for example you can prob consider all 3 options pre flop depending on your opponent if he has raised before you. Also do they like to slowplay or bluff alot and so on. The list is endless really but it is all about knowing the player, therefore you can make better informed decisions as there is less incomplete information.

I dont keep notes on players, but if you decide to dont rely to much on them - you may have made the notes when the player was on an off day - and dont forget players improve and you may under estimate their game...
