Player Notes

If you're like most players, and you play with the same opponents enough, you can't help but notice quirks in their behavior. That woman opposite me always plays the nuts. Isn't the guy on 3rd base bluffing far too often? Of course, when you're at a physical table, you have to keep those notes in your head.

But not at ActionPoker.com. We're proud to announce updated Player Notes. Now you can track how your opponents play, and not worry about them looking at you funny.

Just right-click an opponent's seat, and make your private notes in the text window. Click Update to save.

Buddy List

Any social activity is more enjoyable with friends, so ActionPoker.com developed the Buddy List. If you enjoy playing or communicating with certain players, you can make them a regular part of your play.

From the lobby, click Buddy List to open the Buddy List window. From there you can add and remove buddies, or join a buddy's table.
