I've seen a lot of threads in the BC lately that start with the words '50 hands, no reads, no notes' and the like. This is worrying.

The regs here at ftr helping and it makes everything sooo much easier if they have something, anything to go on. Giving advice in a vacuum is frustrating at best and -ev at worst.

For those who haven't, please read Spoonitnow's guidelines for posting hands sticky, it will help ftr to help you.

For anyone who struggles to form ranges, ISF has done a great job of explaining:

If you're not sure on what notes to take, have a look at Spenda's Leak #5, which discusses ranges and note taking in detail.

I'm barely scratching the surface here, so use the ftr search function or do a google search. For example, put "forming ranges site:flopturnriver.com" into google to see all the posts and vids on ranges. It's all there, just look for it!

One other point - if you're playing so many tables that you find yourself lost in a hand, you may need to consider dropping some and concentrating on your reading. Open the tables slower and look for where your money is coming from while waiting for your blind. Don't open another table until you've spotted the fish and the regs. When your blind comes in and they raise on that first hand, you'll already have something to go on.

While waiting for your blind, think how much you can gather or guess from someone limping 4 hands in a row and check/folding all 4 flops:
- loose / passive / weak
- plays 'fit or fold'
- calls too much preflop, folds too much postflop
- unaware of position
- honest
- Level 0 thinker
You can start to build a profile before you've even paid a blind.

Now get out there, get some reads, form some ranges, take those notes, and pwn. Peace out.
