Default Re: When a read is not a read.

It is also a good idea to do some abbreviating because you're notes are limited to a certain number of characters (I think bison mentions this in his post). It is also speeds up the notetaking process. When I take notes I always set it up with amount of players in as well raised or unraised and relative position. So, an example of this would be:

4-w E-MP R: B 2 PF-r on F w/nil.

This translates to 4-way, early to mid position, raised: Bet to the preflop raiser on the flop with nothing.
It takes a little bit getting used to reading at first, but it becomes pretty helpful once you're accostomed to it.
