Ability to make notes on a player when not at the table
I think we should be able to make notes on a player when they're not seated at any tables. I know I could go to "Find a player", open their table and make notes on them when they're next playing, or put the notes in MS Word temporarily or something, but this is still far from ideal.
The way around this would to be able to make notes on a player via the "Find a player" section - Simply search for the player, and have an "edit notes" button somewhere.
Situations where this would be useful:
1) When you want to make notes on someone's knockout hand - This isn't currently possible as they leave the table as soon as they're knocked out.
E.G. I just had a hand, SB vs. BB, A7 vs. A10, and the A7 decided to 4 bet me all in, and got knocked out (DYM bubble too, ouch). Because he got knocked out, I had no opportunity to make a note on this player. This player had previously defended his blind by 3 betting a couple of button raises earlier in the same game as well.
This would also apply when trying to take notes after a game finishes - For example, in an MTT satellite where someone gets knocked out on the bubble at another table and you want to take notes on something that happened at your table at the same time.
2) When you notice something you didn't notice before when looking through hand history.
3) When you see something on the TV shows and want to make notes but can't because the player isn't seated.

Yes please, Great idea. Though I hate to think what notes would be made when I have been knocked out. Probably very few notes made on me up to now as attendance is usually so brief that I`m gone before most players have chance to register my presence!
Sounds like a really good idea. I'm pretty new to the game and site and would like to make notes on players. What notes would you suggest i prioritise and is there a way of using software or my computer to bring up aplayer quickly, alphabetically say with notes alongside eg LAG, weak donk etc. Is written the only way on Sky? Thats seems so cumbersome. Imay be missing something here and would like your advice.
Oh yes, is there a way of using my Sky stats to come to a conclusion as to whether i'm LAG, LAP etc or is the only way to go to a site and trial a HUD or HEM in order to get VPIP, AGG f, etc stats. What figures should i aim for /try to improve and where do i spot potential leaks? As you can see my q's go on but i'dlike to improve and would like some technical advice to give me a shove in the right direction. Appreciate it. Steve aka profman15
I'm probably not the right person to ask, as I've only been playing the game for about 4 months myself - I'll try to answer but you'll probably get a better answer from better players if you post this question on one of the live show threads, and watch the show that night and your question will be read out at some point during the show and answered by the experts. Failing that, posting this in General Poker Chat will also get a response from the community
The notes I tend to make (I play mostly NL4 and DYM's) are things like "Loose Passive", "LAG", "TAG", "Limp/Folds when blinds are high", and if someone does something really erratic - "J6 offsuit AIPF 100bb". Also, note players who play at a certain level frequently, and who play multiple tables - You can see how many tables someone is playing by looking them up on the "Find a Player" feature, it'll show all the games they're in atm.
I know that Sky doesn't actually support any HUD's, or HEM, and I've never used one of them myself on any site.
I want one :O
Would be very useful to see notes on players before you join a table.
