Aggression

Whats the difference between "Aggression%" and "Aggression Factor" in HEM.

For guys that dont know its a stat in HEM/HEM2 not sure if its called the same in Pokertracker.

What is preferred and why?

Should be the same as PT

Aggression factor was simply your BETS+RAISES divided by your CALLS (did not care about folds and checks)

Aggressoin frequency is basically how many % of your actions is bets and raises (aggressive)

You can probably figure out yourself the problem w/ each of them.

AF can be pretty scewed, a guy with huge AF can be pretty nitty (like check folding a ton, but not calling that much)

Take Guy A for example. In 100 actions, he folds 90 times, calls 1 time and raise/bet 9 times. His AF= 9 which is HUGE

Take Guy B instead. In 100 actions he folds 50 times, calls 25 and raise/bet 25. His AF = 1 which is really low

But it's pretty apparant that Guy B is more aggressive than Guy A

If you check AFq instead, Guy A has 9 % and Guy B has 25%.

both fairly useless stats

This better be right now or I've got it all wrong these years ;S

i like it only to determine if the fish is loose passive or a maniac postflop if i 15-18 table (and thus cant pay much attention to him). I find this stats will make it obvious.

^^

Otherwise completly agree !

think this confuses loose with being aggressive.

either way waht you say is true. but i'd rather read into my palm than these particular statistics.

if someone's aggro is 9 there's no point thin valuebetting cause they will rarely call am i right?

but his bluff raising more?

Only thing I think AF is useful for is deciding whether to lead the turn or go for a checkraise.

not necessarily if he folds alot postflop. One thing is id cc and cr more against super high a factor
