In this strategy-focused video, poker pro Jonathan Little teaches players how to effectively record hand histories during live poker sessions. He shares his personal note-taking system, including crucial elements to track, shorthand methods, and time-saving techniques. The video emphasizes the importance of studying away from the table.

Jonathan Little stresses four essential elements in hand recording: hole cards, stack size, blinds, and position. His shorthand system allows quick note-taking between hands.

Practical Note-Taking Tips:

  • Always record your two cards, stack size, blinds, and position
  • Use shorthand for words longer than four letters
  • Take notes in 20-30 seconds between hands
  • Include relevant reads on opponents
  • Note special payout implications
  • Skip writing about folded players
  • Send hand histories to yourself for later study
