player notes

[tornadopower]

which notes do you think is most important to take on other players?

I play limit holdem full ringgame and use poker office so I have much for free like tightness, agression

Pre-flop notes are not that important. They have a little more value in NL than limit, but you really want to focus on post flop play.

Search the forums for a post by bisonbison called "notes on notes"

The biggest things I look for when taking a note:

-Overplaying a moderate made hand on the late streets.
-Underplaying a strong made hand.
-Multi-street bluffs.
-Late street bluffs or semibluffs.
-Postflop slowplays in multi-way hands.
-Postflop bluffs in multi-way hands.

With few exceptions, pretty much everything else I need to know about the player I can glean from PT (or PO in your case) stats.

When I take a note, I try to recap the entire hand in the note. For example:

"3bet EP PFR on BTN w/ATo, b/c A43r flop HU, raise K turn & bet blank river"

Which tranlsates to:

"3bet a preflop raise from an early position player with AT offsuit on the button, bet and called a check/raise on an A43 rainbow flop, raised a turn bet after a king fell, and bet after the river was a blank (an 8 for example)."

What I know from that note is that this guy overvalued a weak hand both preflop and postflop (in LHE ATo is an easy fold against an early position raiser, unless that raiser is a maniac), and made a bad bet on the river when it should have been obvious he was being called down by a better hand. So if I end up in the same situation against him in another session & I'm holding AJ, I'll be calling down as well.
