Are you taking advantage of your Player Notes? If you are not then you should be. Sure it takes a little extra time but it is worth the effort when you find yourself sitting at the same table as the player that knocked you out last night. Good, bad or in-between you should keep some kind of notes on players you play with.

By keeping notes as a general reference on how a player plays you can narrow the amount of information you would normally parse through. This allows you in most cases to come to your conclusions just a little quicker in crucial situations. I cannot tell you the last time I sat down at a table and I didn’t have notes on at least one of the players. I tend to play the same tournaments regularly as do the other players so it only makes sense to profile. You can be as in-depth or general as fits your game.

Player Notes are definitely time well spent.
