Understanding AFq Value (PT3)

#1 6th June 2010, 1:14 AM

Could someone break it down and help me understand it? Can't get my head around it

Its the percentage of times that you take an aggressive action (betting or raising) when you have the opportunity to do so (post flop).

So if you play a hand, and you bet the flop, check/raise the turn, and then check/call the river, your AFq will be 2/5 or 40%.

And keep in mind, values for AFq are affected by how tight you are. Tight players tend to have much higher AFq's (because they almost always have good hands), whereas, a player with a 90% VPIP with an AFq of 30% is just a bat-shit crazy maniac.

Seeing as we are on the subject of PT3 stats I would like to ask those who are a regular user of the HUD to help me set my HUD properly(what stats are more important than others).
I want to become more serious with my cash game and more proficient in the use of a HUD.
I will be playing micros (10NL) 6-max with FR thrown in at times, and would like to know the best HUD setup and what specific stats to look for at the different tables as I know that the stats will vary from 6-max and FR.
All help would be appreciated thanks

Great thread from ChuckTs: http://www.cardschat.com/f11/6-max-h...-how-i-140070/

Here's my current 6max HUD:

Name, Hands
VPIP, PFR, Agg Factor, Agg %
3bet, fold to 3bet, steal, fold bb to steal
flop cbet, turn cbet, fold to flop cbet, fold to turn cbet

I rely on the popups for positional and other more detailed stats (i.e., 3bet by position, flop c/r, etc.).

I only use AF atm, any point in using both AF and AFq ?

I've just bought HEM (swapped from PT3) and copied Sly's custom HUD setup (thanks Sly)

I can see there is a point, as they use different formulas, but I'm still learning to interpret them properly; I'll spend today's session trying to use them and report back.

Out of curiousity, do you switch up your HUD to have diff stats when you play limit or is this just your default cash game setup?

For me, it's a default cash game setup. I spend a lot less time w stats in limit and Omaha games though fwiw.
