Note Taking is Important in Sit-N-Go

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

A good online poker player always takes down notes. The notes on other players will serve him well when he meets the same players in the future. Note down whether a play is tight or loose, passive or aggressive. Another thing that you should observe is whether a player defends their blinds or not. You should also note if a player is either winning or losing. Lastly, note if the player likes to bluff, or plays it straightforward. These are just a few things you could observe about other players.

Believe it or not, this is a good thing. You might not win a big pot in an instant but you can build a good stack over time. Try to take charge of the table if you can. Extremely tight players can be easily bluffed. AS time goes by, these players might become much looser so you have to adjust.

This is where your observations during the early stage come into play. Through it you’ll know who the weaker players are and exploit them.
