Take Notes on Your Opponents

A good way to improve your game is to take notes on your opponents. Write down the hands they raise with, the hands the call with, the hands they re-raise with. All this information is very valuable. What kind of player are they? Are they loose? Aggressive? Are they capable of bluffing? Are they capable of folding a good hand? Remembering all this information will help you form a strategy of play against your opponents.

It's also a good idea to keep track of tells in a notebook. If you pick up a tell on one person there's a good chance someone else out there does the same thing. Write down these tells because you never know when you'll find someone who also has the tell. Then look over the tells before you play so you don't forget to look out for them. Looking over the tells you've discovered before a game will make you more alert.
