1. If a player sees 100 flops, bets 10, calls 2 and folds the rest (88) his PT Aggression Factor (AF) is 5.00 which would appear that he is aggressive. I personally wouldnt call a player that only bets 10 of 100 flops aggressive.

I haven't had a chance to play around with the Aggression Frequency Stat yet, or to think about it thoroughly, but I don't agree with this statement. The player that you describe is aggressive. When he chooses to play, he makes an aggressive move. Aggression/Passivity is not the same as Tightness/Looseness. A quick look at the Fold Percentage of this fellow would tell you what you need to know (when combined with the existing Aggression Factor).

I'm not saying that the Agression Frequency stat isn't useful, or doesn't describe agression better - I don't know yet. I plan to experiment with it in the next couple of days.

BTW, Good job on the work that you guys are doing in attempts to quantify these tendencies.

possibly there could be some way to allow users to assign our own weighting? at least in a limited range

[PokerAce]

I think allowing customizable weighting would be a bad idea. Imagine someone posting a hand saying "this opponent had an aggr freq of xx and...". That number is completely useless without knowing exactly how this person has his Aggr Freq weighted.

Maybe you misunderstood me or I am misunderstanding you. I never said that tightness/looseness affects aggression/passivity. In fact, I said the exact opposite. I stated that in my research, I found that the tightness/looseness of a player does not affect their optimum aggressiveness. Neither aggression frequency nor aggression factor take into account tightness/looseness and they shouldnt.

I do agree with you that you could achieve a similar idea of the players aggression frequency by looking at their aggression factor and folds to street; however, this isnt quite true in all cases. I think after you use the stat and play around with it you will understand it and realize its potential more so than you do now.

I spent some time this evening trying to research the "Treat as 6 Max" lockup bug that some of you are experiencing. The good news is that I was able to reproduce the problem and I believe that I've fixed it.

I have the same problem. So, should I download again?

[PokerAce]

No, the fix isn't in the version that's available for download. I'm hoping to have another release out shortly (lots of new features as well as the bug fixes).

Hi I have a few question with regards to Agression Frequency

1) How do I know my own Agression Frequency? I know I can select "view mine", but that stats is based on the table I am sitting on. Anyway to see my overall Agression Frequency?

2) How do I retrive Agression Frequency of opp in post-session review? I want start using Agression Frequency as the indicator of villian agression when I post my hand.

thanks

[PokerAce]

Unfortunately, there's no way to see your own overall Aggression Frequency. This isn't a PokerTracker stat and PA Hud offers no way to see all your stats.

Also, because PT doesn't offer Aggr Freq as a stat, there's no way to see an opponent's Aggr Freq while not playing with him/her.

I could provide some SQL statements that could be used with PostgreSQL that would provide you with the Aggr Freq of players.

Attention: Alpha Testers needed!

I've got basic UltimateBet support coded in addition to some additional filtering methods. I am looking for people to help me test this functionality prior to making another official beta release.

To qualify, you must already have PA Hud installed and configured and be pretty comfortable with it. You must be able to spend some time over the next 2-3 days testing the UltimateBet code at least for a couple hours total. You must also be willing to discuss issues and problems with me over AIM so that I can get bugs fixed ASAP. Finally, you must be willing to download multiple versions as I make changes (several times a day perhaps).

If you are interested, please send me an PM stating so. I'm only looking for about 5-6 people to help me with this, so it's pretty much first come first serve. In the PM, please let me know how much time you are able to spend testing the UltimateBet code.

Thanks for quick reply. I am interested in SQL statement. Would you be able to provide me with instraction? I will have no idea what to do without one. Thanks
