If you find yourself being the bully/ aggressor.. keep in mind to play 1-2 tbls max and to keep NOTES to all players sitting to your LEFT...
On the flip side.. if you find your self "calling" more than raising... be sure to use as many options available to you.. TAKE NOTES too all players to your RIGHT.. ( i don't recommend this stile of play), but lots of us find our self's playing in tourneys where you need big guts to 3bet pre flop and fire barrels at the flop.... so we find our self calling in the blinds with mediocre hands trying to improve them...
In any case or website you play on keep and eye on whos around you... one simple note can make or break your tournament life..
Good luck to whoever reads this!! ahhaah see you around

well said i Agree with you ... Its a very good habit to keep notes of every single player you play against , it helps in a lot of ways !!
Every one affording a HUd is hard coz its not feasible to the micro stakes players but if they invest something on the HUD it would a good investment !!
Anyway the old school method of keeping the notes is always a good idea

Nice advice to give at this time, when a new year is coming. People should always refresh their strategy and take a look at what they are doing right and wrong so they can update it and improving so that next year’s results can be better than the last, this should always be the objective of the player.

G'day I must agree with you that the start of the new year is a great time to look over ones games and look for holes or bad habits which might have developed over time. I personal found a hole in my game which I have been delligently trying to plug up.

The thing is , players change their tactics, so you dont know exactly 100% how they play. For example on FTP you can mark them with a color. If i see something about some players i mark them with a color that means something ( every single color, have one or more descriptions in my mind ). And even i play different, depends on tourneys, depends on my mood, my stack, the other players stack, my goal for winning in that tourney ( yes i want to get 1st place, but i know sometimes i cant get it, so i make a goal, if i got that goal, then i put another goal and so on, that means i play more carefull, strong hands only ... )

Good New Year reminder advice Shaqelle.... really good and simple to remond everyone how to maximise their position and be aware of how their own play will be interpreted so as important as watching and interpreting other players.
