Aggression Factor of 24?

#1 31st October 2011, 12:10 AM

I vaguely remember reading that AF only really matters if it's less than 1 or more than 6, and ignore anything from 1 to 6? Anyway, this guy to my left had an AF of 24 after 50 hands!

MP Hero: $1.82

Pre-flop: ($0.03) Hero is MP and dealt

2 folds, Hero raises to $0.08, MP+1 calls $0.08, 4 folds, BB calls $0.06

Flop: ($0.25)

BB checks

What effect (if any) should their AF of 24 have on the way that I play the hand?

Also should I be finding a better table, or one where he's to my right?

Don't think you can take anything from 50 hands. If it was over a longer hand period though I'd look at AFq as well and if thats high stay at table and leave him to hang himself when you flop a monster.

Another thing to add to why 50 hands isnt enough. say he as VPIP of 20 that means AF is only measured over 10 hands. Take out cb and you've only got a few hands.

It depends on his overall stats. If he's like 4/4 with an AF of 24 it means look out when he plays a hand because he always has premiums.

Incidentally, I'd check this flop back.

Call on turn? What are you ever ahead of and what do you hopes going to hit on the river that gives you the implied odds to justify that call?

Other than the river being KQo what were you hoping for?
