What do you focus most on while taking notes on players in NL? What works as the best notes for you, what is worth taking note of, what isn't etc. Do you take notes of the probability of them to fold to a raise on the flop/turn etc.? Just kinda curious how other peoples notes look.

i like to list if they are weak/tight, loose/passive, loose/agressive
another abbreviation i use is "vb" which stands for value bet.
i use this for players who have a propensity for calling large bets on the turn and river with marginal hands such as top pair.
against these vb players i will value bet my marginal hands more on the river expecting a call where as i might check behind against an unknown player.

Big things I focus on are their hand ranges. Bet sizes relative to the hands they have. Are they bluffing a lot etc. Do they slowplay often?
I note if they were talking about their hand and what it was they said.
I note if they're draw chasers as well. If I feel a player is chasing a draw, I'll call down with any two cards knowing that they'll fold if they miss their draw.

I just take note of what hands they are willing to call down with (vs a lead or a c/r). Basically I just find out who it is profitable to bluff against and who it is profitable to value bet against.

I slacked off on notes ever since I purchased PT but I still make notes of how opponents play monsters, if they bluff, and examples of what theyre capable of raising pre-flop. If an opponent frequently fires continuation bets I mark that they do and if I find them firing half pot CB's after missing and full pot after hitting or with overcards I mark that down as well. Hard to take good notes when you're multi tabling though, that's where PT comes in.
