I u are going to change what each color code means, and begin changing each players color code. You will have a period where ur color codes are very confusing, if u have color coded most players.

Instead u can use the color code in holdem manager also, and make a new system here wich cooperate with ur old system.

sorry about the bad English

Hey, thanx for you opinion.

I agree with you- it would be confusing.

Still I have opinion how should I use notes:
a) Using Stars notes system for table selection only and happily that system could be used for quick finding what table conditions are.
b) Holdem manager note system- Here I want to store detailed notes and players category for postflop play and exploitation. Also one more reason to use HEM notes for that is that I can quickly get those notes or add more notes when I am doing my Hand history reviews.

In this situation i would expect BTN to playback wider- calling with wider range and4betting wider for value and as a bluff cuz he should understand that it is obvious squeeze spot. Also it looks like that BTN loves to 4bet (20%) so I don't like 3betting in this spot.

Fish is loose and aggressive. I don't expect to dominate him with current hand and his fold to cbet is on the lower side (45% in single raised pots so I assume it could be even lower in 3b pots) so I can't take away pot when I will cbet.

So I am player who closes action, I have position on the fish and Buttons range is pretty wide - also I can dominate him. So I call.

Thats good question. Still on this board texture it is unlikely to get 3b cuz I don't c reason to do that for value. So I would call and I would decide what to do on latter streets - it depends on run out of board a lot. Calldown is very possible option.

I thought the idea about spending a lot of time analyzing a specific villain was interesting. Idea for a series perhaps? Would be cool to see imo.

Want to bring up a point about the QQ where we min5bet Big Blind vs Button, where we argue that we might be able to change his mind about his 4bet folds into 6bet jams. Let's look at it from a different angle, let's say the villain 4bet something for "thin value" intending to call a shove, say 99, TT, AQ or something of the sort, and then you min5bet him, don't you think you could also "change his mind" into folding? As you said yourself, if you had 55 or AK or if you were bluffing, you would just jam, rather than small 5betting, surely if he's smart he realises this and that he has 0 fold equity. He will deduce that this is almost always to induce with QQ+? I know I've 4bet with the intention of calling a shove with hands like that in the past then changed my mind and folded after facing a miniscule 5bet. I've personally never changed my mind into 6bet jamming a bluff when I know full well I have 0 fold equity (OK, maybe not never, perhaps when unreal tilted where I'm close to the point of just open jamming 100bb preflop with any two, but villain doesn't appear to be in that state of mind). Maybe the villain is bad and your logic makes some sense, but you might just not be giving him the credit he deserves, if he's any good I think this min5bet does more harm than good. It also serves no purpose as balance, since there's basically no hand you could min5bet/fold anyway given the odds you'd be getting after he shoves. If you were deeper, say, 125bb or 130bb to the point where he could actually have fold equity this would all change obviously, but at 100bb I think him 6bet jamming a bluff there seems very optomistic unless he's psycho. Just thought I'd argue the other side of the coin Smile
