I was looking at the way PT calculates aggression factor now that you have the ability to exclude pre flop numbers. I think the way the number is calculated is flawed, but don't know how to prove it so I'm looking for math help. It's also possible that PT's number is valid, but a different way of looking at it than what I expected.
PT's calculation is:
(flop bet % + flop raise % + turn bet % + turn raise % + river bet % + river raise %) / (flop call % + turn call % + river call %)
Flop bet % is calculated as (# flop bets)/(#number of possible flop actions).

<font color="red"> Flop <font color="green"> 56 <font color="blue">2(3.57%) <font color="orange">11(19.64%) <font color="brown">13(23.21%) <font color="red">1
<font color="red"> Turn <font color="green"> 43 <font color="blue">1(2.33) <font color="orange">10(23.26) <font color="brown">10(23.26) <font color="red">1.1
<font color="red"> River <font color="green"> 26 <font color="blue">0(0.00) <font color="orange">7(26.92) <font color="brown">10(38.46) <font color="red">.7

PT calculates overall AF as 0.89 = (3.57+19.64+2.33+23.26+0+26.92)/(23.21+23.26+38.46)
I think the calculation should be 0.94 = (#bets+#raises)/#calls = (28+3)/33
1. Is one of these flat out wrong?
2. Are they both valid just measuring different things?
3. Does it matter? As long as all players are evaluated the same way does the method of measuring matter?
