Thanks so much Des for your kind words and for sharing my poker blog and Poker Notes Live app with the APAT community - that"s very much appreciated!

I"m happy to field any questions APAT members have about the app, and I"m certainly happy to get your feedback as well in terms of what we could do to improve it.

Good luck to all of you at the WCOAP!

Robbie Strazynski

Cue people asking for rulings and hands to be called dead as people use electronic devices at the table. ;)

The thought of APAT endorsing a product like this is beyond me.

Just out of interest, would this be acceptable if someone sat at a table with a pen & paper making notes?

When I first started playing poker (2005ish) I used to do this (though not because I wanted notes on players, instead I wanted to write a TR on the tourney). It wasn"t seen as a problem then. Not sure what the rules would be now though...

Personally, I"m not a fan of the product and I"ve made my thoughts known to Robbie - who"s on the thread.  However, I respect the guy"s endeavour in developing and putting a product out and he"s a genuine guy who is passionate about the game like the rest of us.  So I"m certainly not against informing players so that you can form your view on it. 

It seems to be much more the norm these days to see guys plugged into iPads and the like at tables, so I see this more as an additional activity while you play, rather than a tool that will give you a real edge. At least that"s the way I see it.  But the purpose of the thread is very much to gather your views, so qudos to Wayne for his position.

Perhaps my reply was a bit strong but i don"t like any kind of software that helps any individual over another. I know this is just notes and not tracking but same principle.

This should not be allowed at the table ever. If people want to leave the table and forfeit their hand to make notes on their phones then fine. Anyone using the phone (these types of apps) whilst in a hand/at table should have hand dead period, warned as per rules with escalation to disqualification.

Sorry Jason but this is wrong. People use their phones to make notes without these apps. All this app does is makes it easier, I assume.

At the end of the day it is not breaking any of the rules of poker.

I don"t have a problem with people making notes on their phones, in my opinion it will encourage better play on my part by varying the way I play, so I see it as a positive for my game. I think the non use of electronic equipment at the table is a thing of the past, although I don"t agree with it, so many players use phones or tablets at the table now, I just don"t see them being outlawed or if they are the ban being enforced, I think the majority have won the day on this one.

I remember when Greg raymer won the WSOP. He made written notes all the way through the tourney. One particular hand against Matusow result in a typical (yawn) rant from "the mouth" in Raymers direction. Raymer just ignored Matusow, got his notepad out and started writing.

I remember thinking this was a bit odd, but would never say it was wrong or against the rules.

I"m not sure I would use this app constructively. It may be good for recalling hands in TRs or for PHA threads but I tend to remember details of key hands pretty well.
