    It's usually VPIP/PFR/AF

    VPIP = voluntary put in pot %. The % of time the person puts money in the pot when they dont have to.

    PFR = Pre-flop raise %

    AF = Agression factor, how agressive they are after the flop. It's the ratio of their bet/raising to their calling. ((%bet+%raise)/%called).

    Thanks for that Gerry.

    What is an Aggressive, Mild and Weak AF (approximate numbers), please?

    Passive is anything below about 1.5, below 1 you can be very sure they have a hand when they bet.

    Medium would be about 1.5 - 3. These are just approx. though.

    Aggressive would be anything > 3. This is where you want to be.

    These take several hundred hands to be accurate. You should have about 10,000/VPIP hands before putting any serious weight into them. You may be able to get a fair idea before that though, if they are < 1 after the first 100 hands it's extremely unlikely their true AF is > 3.

    For flop, turn and river AFs you should be >3, >2, >2. Ideally you'd want your flop AF >5.
