What sort of notes do you guys take? Short quick notes like "LAG - fish" or do you go into more depth with information like bet sizing and position?

I go into detail and note exactly what they have done so i will know next time.

I note a general impression and then specific hands/plays that support that impression.

What notes do you have on me???

Lol do u have any notes on me, cuz we been at the same table a couple times.

What I find works well is just write down every sort of information you can, and then at the top just summarize it into a few brief points. So for instance, player notes on FSUDuster

A) Doesn't c-bet flops unless he hits (sort of a paradox but still, just an example)
B) Only opens premium hands from EP and bets 3x the bb
C) Never folds flush draws

Then below it I just write down summarized hh's into each category as "proof" and incase I want to see an example of it. For me, it doesn't matter how long my notes are, as I often just glance at the main points I have made.

Color coding is key too
