Total Aggression Factor

Got 49.66 and can't tell if it's good or bad

The stat BY ITSELF is not a valid number because you have to incorporate VPIP.

For example...

A player with an AF of 1 and a vpip of X, bets and calls with the identical frequency. However, if vpip = 100, he's CRAZY! If his vpip is 10, he's tight. The AF value (by itself) can't tell you anything about the opponent.

Generally speaking, a player with a large AF and small VPIP is a player who always has the nuts/good hands (hence, bets all the time compared to calling). A player with a >1 AF with a high vpip tends to be a high frequency better and since he/she can't always have a hand (because they play so many), they tend to be the bluffers.

Hope this helps!

got it

the big number i saw was actually total aggression frequency (not total aggression factor)

Ty for making it simple with the VPIP/ AF.

This was the context for AFq
VPIP 23.30
PFR 12.17
Total AFq 49.66
WTSD % 31.64
WSD 64.29
