Default Re: Notes for Stud

I write notes.

For razz I make notes about general 3rd and 4th st tendencies mostly

Razz
- calls or completes with paint face up (or in the hole, if I find out later)
- won't fold to 4th st bricks
- raises 5th or 6th in weird spots where unlikely to be ahead
- For really passive 3rd st players I try to note whether their raises are wheel hands, random 3-card-low hands, or bluffs/steals
- I make notes about individuals who seem to think that the current low hand is always ahead (i.e. he thinks his T9842 is necessarily better than my xx266)
- I make note of ANYONE I have caught bluffing on the river, particularly bluffs of the type... call call call call bluff-river

Stud/8
- I make notes of odd limps or raises, like people limping with 9-K up, etc
- I make notes of who will whipsaw with me, and who won't - this is double good because if a whipsawer won't co-operate then either he doesn't have a solid hand one way, or possibly I've read his hand the wrong way (hi instead of low, say)
- I make notes of who calls 7th in multiway pots with 1 pair
- I make notes of who bets low draws on 4th and who doesn't seem to


- For both games I make not of particular hands that were played very oddly.
- For both games I make notes of hands that I have played either unconventionally against them, or hands where I have called with hands that I probably should have folded.
- In general I try to make notes about how I would expect them to see me - this includes notes about chat comments they've made about or towards me.

I make lots of notes, constantly.
