Default Re: Taking notes at a live game

[ QUOTE ]
If you are a good player, playing at a low limit, dont do it. Any advantage you get from taking notes will be countered by weak players thinking you are a shark. You want to create a nice relaxed atmosphere for the fish to lose their chips. Don't do anything to disrupt this.

That pretty much sums it up. If you are playing in any low to mid stakes games, you don't want to draw attention to yourself. Just try to fit in and act like you are there to have fun. I used to always be silent at the table, but now if the table is playing tight I strike up a lighthearted conversation and 4/5 times the players start easing up and playing looser.
