edit: MicroBob's dead on with AF numbers. AF is a crappy noisy stat. The more loose they are preflop, the more aggressive lower numbers are.

Can you explain this a bit more plz ?

They calculate aggression factor like this:

(Times player bets + Time player raises) / (times player calls)

Imagine for a minute an otherwise strong player who decided to play 60% of his hands preflop.

If he played smart-aggressive postflop, he would have to have a lower aggression factor because alot more of his hands would be middle or bottom pair hands that have the odds to call to the turn, but aren't worth raising with.

He'll still be playing the top ~20% of his hands just like us, but he'll have alot more hands that he'll just be calling with.

So simpler put, he's playing as aggressive in the same spots we are, but he's got alot more spots where he should be passive.
