That was a bit of an exaggeration.
I do drink a lot of water though. I take Maui Thai Kick Boxing classes and like to play after them a lot of the time. I find this is when I am most allert. Either way, after these classes I need a lot of water. I sweat more doing Muai Thai than you would sitting in a sauna doing yoga for 2 hours.
I do have a question though.
I started writing notes about each player on every table I was playing, but then realized they weren't helping me much in the long run. Here's why.
The players I wrote notes on usually changed if I ever saw them at a table again. I have barely run into the same person twice. I guess I am moving up in the stakes fairly quickly (went from $1 buy-in's to $11 within a few months of playing and still at a decent bankroll while winning) so the chances of seeing the same people would decrese a bit due to that I guess.
Also, everyone changes their game up in the later stages of the tournaments I am playing. So, if I mark someone as TAG at the beginning of a tournament, they might end up being loose and passive at the end.
Either way, what I have found to work nicely is to simply pay attention to everyone at the table when playing the game and try to figure out their playing style based on recent hands.
So, back to my question.
What types of notes to you keep and what do you include in your notes? Do you include the type of player each person is? Do you include some hands they played that made you question human intelligence?
I used to keep track of each time a player saw a flop and compared them to every other player at the table at hand. I would also keep track of how many times they raised and called a raise pre-flop. I started getting good at it, but felt it was a waste of time. I wasn't seeing a lot of other things I should have been paying attention to.
