I read Fnord's post (turned into article on the site) about table selection. I'd like a little further advice on getting reads on players. My problem with trying to get reads on people is that I spend so much time on it and try so much that I end up stressing out about not being able to write enough notes on a player or being afraid of missing something. This results in giving up on taking notes and just playing the cards. Is there any systematic approach? I'm thinking that maybe I should just play one table for a period of time until I learn how to get reads quickly and then I can expand. I was just curious if there's some sort of system you guys have that you exercise everytime you join a table and how to assess who the suckes are. I can only pick out the obvious suckers normally (if it's not me ) and usually they're out of money by the time I get a hand to play them with.
