Ask yourself...
- What kind of player is s/he? Tight, Solid, Aggressive, Tight/Agressive
- What kind of Preflop player is s/he? Do they limp often with weak hands, blind stealer, or do they only play premium hands?
- What class of player are they? An Elephant(constant caller) a Mouse (hardly plays any hands) a Jackal(very aggressive, unpredictable) or a Lion (good solid player)?
- Does the player often chase draws?
- Watch out for calling stations, take advantage
- Keep an eye out for betting patterns e.g. always raises 5 times B.B with Aces
That is my quick guide to note taking while playing poker.

Just want to add, that when taking notes that it important that you use some form of shorthand that you can quickly type in. And of course you want to be able to understand what the shorthand means when you read it again several months after taking the notes.
I don’t want to suggest a list of abbreviations. It is essential that you think of your own abbreviations and shorthand.
But as an example, one of mine is OBORWS. This means On button, only raises with strength. It gives me a fairly good indication of how that person plays when on the button, and also lets me know how to defend my blinds against him.
