Tracking Your Opponents

Do yourself a big favor and get into the habit, early on, of taking notes on your opponents’ playing and betting habits. Take advantage of the online cardrooms’ note-taking and hand history features. (See Chapter 15, “The Top Five Online Poker Rooms” for more details.) This is a genuine benefit of the online game—you don’t have to keep it all in your head. You can look it up and write it down. In a live casino game, this simply isn’t an option. (I suppose you could sit there and take notes while you play, but tell you what, you go first and let me know how it works out….)
