Online you can even type cards into the chat box.
For online, I've snapped pics of 3rd street (especially in Stud8) and, if necessary, subsequent streets. You end up fiddling around with your phone more than you should.
Live, I put them in order highest to lowest. When I first started, I would use my foot to count the suits. It is kind of hard to explain in text form but I learned it from a strategy to count aces in single deck and double deck blackjack. I'm sure the strategy can be found online somewhere. Essentially you position your left foot on your toes or your heel and position it left to right and then switch to your right foot as the count goes up. When you practice a little it becomes automatic and when you leave your foot in position it becomes a reminder as to what number you were on and you can concentrate on other things. I know it sounds a little ridiculous but it really helped.
