Terminology ???

presume its as basic as VPIP/%R/AGG RATING but it depends how you have your HUD configured on HEM i suppose. as a short stacker im more interested in 3bet%/ fold to 3bet % etc than anything else.

u wont get these figures off sharkscope u need Holdem Manager (HEM) or pokertracker.

^^^^^This correct VPIP/PFR/AF

thanks ariston ! gives me more questions though ;-)

VPIP ? - something played in position i presume ?

%R ?

I dont play that regular, but tend to have longish sessions when i do, been thinking of getting some tracking software but no idea whats any good.

VPIP - Voluntarily put $ in pot %
PFR - Pre-Flop raise %
AF - Aggression Factor

vpip is how many pots a player puts money volintarily (ie not the blinds).

on a 6 handed table someone with a vpip of say 25 is playing too many pots by the book and so many people live by these stats nowadays. it is possible to win with a vpip of 70 if youa re good enough post flop.

someone with a vpip of say 12% is a rock though and a rock obviously has a very narrow range. vpip helps you identify players ranges basically.

they are all terms from poker tracking software.

VPIP = voluntary put into pot (played hand when not obliged to)

PFR = pre frlop raiser

R is usual raise l

3b or 4B is 3 bet or 4 bet eg bet raise and the reraise

just google hold em manager stats

much appreciated ariston, redcar & soap :-)

cheers redcar, i did look for help on the terms on the FAQ but must have missed it..


Does HEM work with Ladyblokes site ?

yes

I believe it does, check out the HEM forum for more details

Had a browse thru the HEM forum re if it works with ladies, it seems that it does, but quite a few users had teething problems, which are hopefully all sorted now.

Another Q : is 20 buy-ins enough bankroll for NLHE 6 handed 0.5/1.0 ( 100 euro max buy-in ) ?

no,

play 50nl until you have $3k then move up

thanks flop
