Just want to add, that when taking notes that it important that you use some form of shorthand that you can quickly type in. And of course you want to be able to understand what the shorthand means when you read it again several months after taking the notes.

I don’t want to suggest a list of abbreviations. It is essential that you think of your own abbreviations and shorthand.

But as an example, one of mine is OBORWS. This means On button, only raises with strength. It gives me a fairly good indication of how that person plays when on the button, and also lets me know how to defend my blinds against him.

Never a dull moment with poker, that’s for sure. I notice the type of successful play goes in and out of style somewhat too. For example, today’s poker is much more aggressive than years past, due to the huge on-line scene I imagine.

I apologize for some previous spelling errors in this post. I didn’t use by usual browser with the spell checking hotness.

I agree with Stonecoldbluff that the fact there is no right or wrong answer in poker makes it appeal to the masses. It’s very easy to pick up the basics but as he mentions I doubt anyone will ever 100% master it due to the many permatations available.

Couple this with the fact that the game is evolving in many different ways due to software available for online, training sites, good quality blogs, the USA “ban” and I’m sure you’ll agree the games are getting tougher and tougher but in my eyes that also makes it more fun too.

I think this is what makes poker the phenomenon that it is today. It is a game that is fairly easy to understand, but something that no one can master. Even the pro’s can , and often do, make mistakes.
