I also take extensive notes while waiting on pre-flop frequencies by position
when I’m not in the mood to take a lot of notes, I’m usually multi-tabling, which for me also seems to make it easier to be a little more disciplined about what hands I’m not just throwing away pre-flop
I too have been a victim of not hearing the tone to start the game even tho I have my settings set to high. I got so frustrated I went to Best Buy and bought a USB sound bar to clip to the top of my laptop. Now it scares me lol Best $25 I ever spent
I think the only time it’s a problem for me is when I’m waiting for a Sit-n-Go to fill up. That can happen quickly or it can take a long time. I tend to forget I’m even registered (like I forget everything else that happened 30 seconds ago or more).
Most people don’t make notes on opponents because they can’t type…
Perhaps a system of check boxes could be developed to help them categorize opponents who have ‘left a mark on them’ (LOL?? :>)) ) …
Maybe even a typing course here they could pay for… I learned a long time ago - it was a present from a ‘rich uncle’, lol, and it changed my life…
I got real good jobs, because I could type, that made a good difference in the selection process - especially in at least one case if not two…
A note from me to anyone who can’t type without looking at the keys - fix that - Bite the bullet, take the course - get a manual typewriter and practice 'til the cows come home… lol…
You just might be amazed at the difference it could make in your life - not just here…
That’s no doubt true–about typing. I have taken full advantage of my ability to type very fast and to be an early adopter of word processing. While many of my colleagues had to write their reports by hand and find a secretary to type them up, I could whip mine out on computer, edit, print, and beat everyone to the table! Who knew that would be a skill that could also be helpful in poker?!
all respect to every one reading each note replay and answering the topic . okay first i got to give respect to Facebook teaching about playing the sit and go my favorite game a tournament just like the rebuilder
games here . well i learn to play this tournament on Facebook but right now a girl i knew deleted my Facebook account and i never look back on Facebook scents ’ now you may ask what the topic has to do with playing poker on Facebook ? it has every thing to do with playing sit and go tournaments
same rules apply it is not how fast you can win the game it is who can get to the finale table of the game then you can win the game ’ so what is the moral of the story ? you may ask how to get to the finale table ? as the topic said waiting at the table so that end my conclusion thanks for the opportunity
peace out .
Why is taking notes cheating? With thousands of players and no face to put to each, it’s the same as a mental note if you play at casinos. I see no harm in that.
Sometimes, I listen to music and sometimes the news/commentary on YouTube. When I’m taking a lot of beats, I might track my hands for a few days to better notice my good play. At other times, especially at the higher stakes tables, I just concentrate on the play.
