Default 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?

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.

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.

I'm not sure AF is useless as you say but your ideas are thought provoking. Perhaps you may want to start a lead post on the subject.
