    Notes unrelated to Specific Hands
    Number of tables this opponent plays at once
    His standard Buy-In amount

    Preflop Notes
    Whether this opponent Limp/Calls
    How this opponent makes and responds to 3Bets
    How this opponent makes and responds to 4Bets
    How this opponent makes and responds to preflop All-Ins

    Postflop notes which apply generally to all actions after the flop
    How strong a hand does this player need to bet or call a series of bets all the way to the river
    What do unusual bet sizes mean for this player

    Flop Notes
    How strong a hand does this player need to make or call an All-In bet on the flop
    Do they slow-play big hands?
    How do they play draws?
    Do they Donk bet, and what does it mean?

    Turn Notes
    How strong a hand does this player need to make or call an All-In bet on the turn
    Do they play for Pot Control with Medium/Good hands?

    River Notes
    Does an All-In mean the nuts?
    Is he capable of making a big bluff on the river?
    Will he check down a strong hand out of fear?
    hey this is a really good post. i think after a certain amount of time playing vs someone it's better to start making general profiles though, if you play that much volume vs anybody at 10nl and lower?. so instead of looking up certain reads for certain streets in a list of notes while you play, you'd be playing off something like "loose/passive pre, over-values middle pairs, will call 3 with TP, generally passive postflop unless holding perceived nuts, makes -EV calls with draws on F+T, unlikely to have a bluff range on any street". find it easier to do it that way. you can plan a whole hand vs a villain's tendencies with that info, rather than checking your reads on each street and consequently playing each street in a vacuum
