  1. What other information do YOU note at the poker table? 🤔

  2. what about poker online notes? how can i take notes about my opponents to take some advantage of his leaks

  3. My plan for improvement:

    1. Wait for Jonathan Little to come to my house and teach me everything he knows
    2. Profit

    So far I'm stuck at step #0

  4. I really like not including river results in your notes. Results cloud our thinking.

  5. this video is very underrated. I use ''H'' for Hero instead of ''I'' and ''V'' for Villain instead of ''he/she'' and if there's more than one opponent I just add the position, like ''SBV called BBV raised''.

  6. This is good video, I had headphones and I was talking quietly, thinking nobody was listening but boy was I wrong 😅

  7. GREAT VID Jonathan!

    Im gonna set up a table on my iPhone notes app for all the info—im actually pretty decent at remembering important details—but I know I screw up certain key things. This will help bigtime. I especially like the pre-written H/S/B/P grid idea!
