Default Re: Best strategy for playing tricky players

When autorate shows a player as a moneybag and they raise preflop, I steer clear.

You should check their PFR%. If someone is a 19% VP$IP moneybags who happens to raise everytime they play, you should not respect their raises very much. (It's the TP-A pre-flop raisers I worry about.)

Also realize that the post-flop aggression number for a tight player is VERY inaccurate. Suppose you've seen him for 100 hands and he sees the flop 25% of the time and folds on the flop another 30% of the time. Now you've only seen him play 17 hands post-flop and you are estimating his aggression based on that. One flopped set could seriously skew the number.

The bisonbison autorates are a great tool, but like all pokertracker stuff, you need to realize the limitations.
