Default Re: Aggression rating

AF = (raise% + bet%)/(call%)

tighter players generally play better hands. a very, very tight player (say he only plays AA, KK, QQ, and AK) should be extremely aggressive since his hand is worth raising and betting at basically every point in a hand.

however players who play T4o, 63o, and 96o should really have a hard time betting and raising these hands postflop. so the looser you are, the less inclind you should be to bet and raise postflop.

there is another factor - the very loose preflop players are the ones likely to call too often with very poor hands postflop. tight players can generally find folds. this is more of a subjective observation, but i believe it's true.

so when you see a very loose preflop player -

1. he does not play good hands, thus he should not be betting and raising much postflop.
2. he probably also has a tendency to call too often.

both of these factors will decrease a players aggression factor, so when you see a very loose player with a high aggression factor, it is not the same as seeing a tight player with that same aggression factor.

basically
