    This is a very brief incomplete, imperfect synopsis:

    Use VPIP to determine how tight or loose someone is.

    High VPIP (30%+ at a full ring game) is very loose, while low VPIP (15%- at a full ring game is very tight.

    Use PFR% to determine how aggressive someone is.

    PFR% of at least 75% of what the VPIP is indicates a good level of aggressiveness. Someone with less than 70% of their VPIP is opening pots for limps too often.

    Examples using VPIP/PFR%:

    14/11 : TAG, tight player who usually brings in for a raise. Dangerous player.

    28/23 : LAG, loose player who usually brings in for a raise. Dangerous player.

    14/6 : Weak-tight. Tight player who usually only raises premium hands but limps the rest of his range. These are good to have at your table.

    38/10 : Loose passive. Loose player who will take a flier and limp with a wide range of hands, but only raises the strong ones. This is your $$$$$$.

    Hope that helps!
