Memory is paramount, to be a good player, especially when playing live games, If you can remember how a player's style is before you sit down at the table, you have an edge over him already, and this is why the same player seems to win all your home games, time and again, because he remembers how you play.
We have a useful tool when playing on-line because we can make notes on certain player's when we seem to come up against them over and over again, but it is harder to keep notes in a live home game, unless you can remember after the game is over, and these notes are usually stored in your own brain.
I was a cab driver for many years, and it is a proven fact, that a good cab driver has an enlarged hippocampus that stores memory, street's and route's, so that it was easy to compete with other drivers. If I was given an address to pick up from, my hand was straight onto the ignition key and I was away, when some drivers were still trying to find the address on a street map.
I am now retired and some of the street's and routes are gone but I still get asked for directions and I still remember most of the old address'es, It is the new one's I struggle with because I never learned them.

When the fun Stops, STOP!
