Note-Taking
Screens
This is one of the most valuable features offered by many
leading sites, and also one of the easiest to use. You should
start taking notes the first time you play online. If you
begin in a play-money games, you'll be under no pressure
and can master this valuable software tool as well as many
others before you play for cash.
In most cases, you
direct the note taking function either by right-clicking
above a player's icon or clicking a clearly designated button.
A screen will pop up for you to type into. Thereafter, you
need only rest your cursor over a player's seat to bring
up any observations you've recorded (although some sites
require you to click over a player's name or icon to reveal
your notes).
Give top priority
to learning how to save notes to your hard drive. If you
don't, your notes may disappear after the current session
and be unavailable when you need them most - days or weeks
later when you encounter the same players again. In some
cases, your notes will be automatically saved in a text
(.txt) file on your hard drive under the games software directory.
The note-taking function,
like many other features, varies from site to site, so take
nothing for granted. When in doubt, ask customer support
or, if available, live help.
