Note Caddy v1 & v2.0 Review

NoteCaddy Logo

 NoteCaddy has recently become a Hold'em Manager exclusive app- still offering the same great features plus more. Download your NoteCaddy Hold'em free trial or get the Omaha version of NoteCaddy!

NoteCaddy is a remarkable poker tool that works along side poker tracking software such as Hold'em Manager and Poker Tracker 3. It is an automated note taking & colour coding program. Online poker players all know the importance of note taking, and your HUD statistics cannot tell the whole story. NoteCaddy takes notes for you, it reads the hand histories and notes on behaviours that are significant. NoteCaddy is fully customisable and there are millions upon millions of combinations. As well as taking notes on behaviours, NoteCaddy can identify patterns and frequencies that will allow you to understand the way your opponents play more so than your HUD alone can.

Poker tracking software such as Poker Office, PokerTracker3 and Hold'em Manager have implemented a feature to allow players to take notes directly from their HUD, by simply clicking on the notes icon, despite this ease of access many players today fail to take appropriate notes on their opponents. There are many reasons for this such as multi-tablers not having to time during a session.

NoteCaddy Pop-Up

NoteCaddy also has the ability to take notes on what did not occur in a hand. For example, you may gain valuable insight into how an opponent plays a draw, NoteCaddys note will show: “Plays draws aggressively (7/9). This is telling you that out of 9 times that the player flopped a draw, 7 times the player showed aggression. This note could also be used for pairs, air, sets etc.



 

NoteCaddy can also automatically colour codes your opponents from PokerStars and FullTilt based on their playing style. This is also fully customisable and the NoteCaddy user manual gives you detailed guidance on how to colour code your opponents. You are then able to see at a quick glance over the table or in the lobby what type of players are playing where- now you can find those fish with ease. NoteCaddy comes with 10 preset colour codes with the typical player types such as TAG, rock, fish and calling station.

Some online players like to have the notes displayed in the poker client rather than from their poker trackers HUD. NoteCaddy allows you to easily synchronise the notes you have in your database with the notes you have in your poker client. This is also useful for making backups. Note Synchronisation currently supports PokerStars, FullTilt & Party Poker.

By far the most powerful feature of NoteCaddy is the ability to create customised definitions for notes that NoteCaddy should take. There is no limit for unique definitions and when properly used, this feature can prove itself to be incredibly useful. The power of note definitions comes from the ability to specify a series of things that need to be true in order for something to be considered noteworthy.

NoteCaddy also allows you to filter, this feature is perhaps underrated. It is more powerful than it first appears. With this, you can take notes based on things happening too often or not often enough. For example, you can filter for minimum occurrences- the number of times a definition has to be taken before it will show up as a note. For example if you play with regulars with thousands of hands you may not want to know about a particular behaviour that has only occurred once. Other filters include minimum player hand sample and minimum success percent. You can also analyse a specific hand in NoteCaddy using the test environment area. All you need to do is copy and paste the hand history and NoteCaddy gives you a complete analysis.

NoteCaddy is a powerful piece of poker software that can give you a massive advantage over your opponents. Installation & set up of NoteCaddy is straight forward, the NoteCaddy website has a downloadable user guide to walk you through everything from installation to creating your own note definitions.There is also 4 training videos. NoteCaddy offers a FREE 30 day full version trial and is extremely competitively priced at just $50 for a lifetime license. Currently you can pay via PayPal  or contact NoteCaddy customer support for other options. There is also a micro-stakes payment plan where you pay five easy monthly payments of $10. You get the full functionality from day one but it will not break the bank. The money will not be automatically deducted but your NoteCaddy will remind you when it is time to pay for another month.

The latest version of NoteCaddy 1 has many added features including-

  • Added support for Entraction Network
  • The ability to add a black list of players who should not be colour coded
  • The ability to clear NoteCaddy generated colour coding for FullTilt & PokerStars
  • When making a note definition inactive, you can now have the ability to remove all the notes it generated from your database
  • Added support for Everest Poker
  • Added support for Boss Poker
  • The ability to remove alphabetization on note persistence to retain order of manual notes.
  • Improved board texture variables so that it specifies when the flushes hit ( eg backdoor)
  • Added 'range' version of most variables so that many notes that currently occupy multiple lines can be done on one line
  • Added 'must act flop/turn/river' check boxes so that it can determine if a player was all-in on a previous street
  • Added 'versus hero' check boxes to previous actions as well as player types. It is no longer necessary to make a hero profile in colour coding. Using this option will also lead to faster processing times
  • Modified general strength algorithm.
  • Added manual pre-flop bet sizing option.
  • Added option to show percentages of success when considering opportunities
  • Added ability to resume colour coding process if it is stopped while processing
  • Added re-order option for grouping categories. This can be used if you change the order of your groups or if your grouping breaks somehow.
  • Added support for Pacific Poker
  • More requirements for colour coding. You can now require that a player have certain NoteCaddy notes in order to qualify for a colour coding.
  • Added BB/100 as an option for colour coding.
  • Added a variable $flopposition. This will print IP or OOP depending on if the player was in position on the flop.
  • Added usability improvements.
  • Added the ability to specify player types for both "hero" and "enemy" players. This will allow you to take notes only for certain types of players.
  • Modified the way that $cardrange renders the range enumeration. Now it sorts by most profitable hands descending. "Unknown" is also never printed.
  • The biggest improvement for version 1.07 is the feature allowing you the ability to view the hand that caused NoteCaddy to take a note in the first place. This new screen adds a new dimension to the functionality of NoteCaddy now allowing you to use it as a game study tool, also allowing you to profile your opponents further.

NEW!!  Note Caddy 2- now with Omaha


The newest version of NoteCaddy has the added functionality of Omaha, it is currently available as a beta though will soon be split into a seperate license.

Note Caddy 2.0 also looks alot better and is more user friendly with an auto-updater and set-up wizard that walks you throught the steps of installation.
