I'm starting to become a regular at the micro-limit TD games on PS, and I see a bunch of the same names over and over. I've been trying to take some basic notes on their play, but my question is do you all think they're taking notes on me?

In my brief forays in to micro LHE I assumed that i) No one was taking notes on me and ii) even if they were the player pool was big enough that it didn't matter. But the player pool in TD seems so much smaller that this seems like a real possibility.

Thoughts and prayers from people who've played much longer than I have?

Take notes but date them because they could be on a steep learning curve.

Sometimes I see the players so much I just remember them w/o notes.

good notes to take in 2-7:

apparent opening range in EP and steal positions, patting ranges after first and 2nd draw in and out of position (and predraw if they pat non-7s/8s), tendency of 3betting light predraw to isolate, and number of bets they'll go with various hands on various streets.

99.999% of players are entirely predictable if you can get a good handle on all of the above.

Would it be prudent to add something about what they'll call with after the last draw to that list? I seem to find a lot of players who will seemingly fold anything that's not an 8-6 or better after the last draw, with the occasional player who will look me up with 10s (or even the calling station who can't seem to understand that pairs and straights are bad).
