    Hey everyone!

    I just got pokertracker and it really is amazing but there is one thing I don't understand and that has to do with the aggression aspects of it. I have read through the guide and I am still having problems. What is the aggression frequency? I mean, I know it is the percentage of agression but what is a high number, a low number, and an average? What would the agg frequency be of a passive player?
    Then what is total aggression? and turn aggression? What are some example numbers for these. I just need an idea to understand it. Thanks

    Edit: This is probaly also a stupid question but how can you tell how many hands a player had played relative to total hands? Like when they folded pre? All I see is total hands which I'm assuming is counted every time they see two cards. Is there another number that tells me this?

    ive no idea how its worked out but from what ive gathered 0 is basically a calling station, never raisin or anythin, between 1 and 2 is nitty, 2 and 3 is pretty normal, 3 and above is aggro. when ive been running good ive got my aggression factor up to 16!

    and to see the number of pots theyve played look at VP$IP number which is the number of times theyve voluntarily put $ into the pot, or look at % of time theyve seen a flop. Also the aggression factor will give you a hint of how many hands theyre gonna play. Also the PFR (Pre-Flop Raise) number will tell you how often they raise.

    Hope this helps :)

    If someone could elaborate a little more on the aggression I would appreciate it.

    Is this right then? If someone's VP is 33 percent, that means they are actively playing in a hand where they are not the BB 33 percent of the time? In other words, a high amount? I was giving this a test run on .01/.02 NL lol.

    Aggression Factor, or AF, is a ratio (not a percentage) which describes the nature of a player's bets.

    The formula for any given street is ( (bets + raises) / calls ) .
