| Confusing terminology! I am brand new to the board and SUCK at poker. Haha. I am trying to learn some stuff but I need to get up to date on terminology you guys use. What is vpip, pfr, and anything that goes along with that? Im assuming its with the stats tracker. On that note, is the stat tracker something i should purchase? Thanks! |

| The stats tracker is definitely worth having. I dont think that it is something that you desperately need immediately though. I am waiting until I cash out so i can buy it with poker earnings. For the meantime though, wait until you have like 5000 hands and then download the free trial for poker tracker. It lasts for 3 months and is very helpful. If you wait until you already have a few thousand hands then it will be much more helpful because its not very accurate until you have like 10,000 hands, but 5k is plenty |

| What pedro and Jilly said Note that they're both expressed as percentages so the higher the number the more often they do the thing in question. VPIP only includes the times a player voluntarily puts money into the pot, so posting blinds doesn't count. |

| I think tracking software would be useful at any limit, not necessarily so much for the HUD but rather to review hands, keep track of wins and losses, get to know the numbers associated with your own playing style, and find leaks you need to fix before moving up. But I'm kind of nutso about tracking anyway so your mileage may vary. Welcome to CardsChat! |
