Thx for the post Isura, I am just using some autorate rules I found in the forum, this is something I am definitely look into.

I don't use autorate type rules in no-limit. For example, Player A and B can both have 30/10/2 stats but play totally different styles. Player A could attain those stats by minraising a lot, raising without consideration of position, and betting small/weak postflop (e.g. making dark tunnel bets). Player A could be a habitual slowplayer, but at the same time love to bluff in obvious spots. Player B may actually make normal preflop raises and reraises, consider position (e.g. makes isolation raises), bet his good hands, and check/folds his weak hands, and rarely check/raises. B could be completely predictable and be easier to play against than A.

The VP/PFR stats can be useful to get a feel for the range of hands villain could be playing, but they are not helpful for much else.
