pokertracker numbers that everyone uses
i always see everyone talking about so and so, who is a XX/XX..
does this really tell you anything? first of all, over how many hands? what if the guy just caught some hot cards over a few thousand hands? now you think he's a maniac. also, what if the majority of hands you have from him came from 3 handed play or something? what would you say if a guy was a 30/20? |

Re: pokertracker numbers that everyone uses
x/y/z
x= VP$IP= what percentage of hands a player voluntarily puts money into the pot with- 16-17 i believe i considered the norm around here in full ring. y= preflop raise %- self-explanatory z= average postflop aggression- bets+raises/calls+checks? Should be above 2 if aggressive, above 3 if super aggressive, anythign under 1 is awful. After 50 hands you have a resonable expectation of how loose they are. After 500 you are very confident. Helps provide a better hand range for close decisions |

VPIP converges pretty quick from whta i've seen. It is really hard to get more than your share of preflop cards for thousands of hands.

Re: pokertracker numbers that everyone uses
VPiP is usually pretty accurate and converges fast.
PFR converges slower yet still gives a general idea. AF is useless and will not converge like in 10k hands. I've seen total brainless maniacs with AF <1 and weak-tight rocks with AF>3. Also the way AF is calculated is pretty useless as it counts checks with intention of CR as something "passive". If someone check/calls flop and check/raises turn they would get low AF because they checked twice and raised once yet they may do it every single hand and are clearly more agressive than many others. |
