The question may seem simple but I’ve been racking my brains for some time and can’t get over it.
As far as I understand VPIP is calculated by dividing the number of hands played by the number of the hands a player voluntarily puts money into the pot preflop. This includes: 1. Limps 2.Bets 3.Calls 4.3-bets, 4 bets, etc.
PRR is calculated by dividing the number of hands played by the number of the hands a player bets or raises preflop. This includes: 1. Bets 2. 3-bets, 4-bets, etc.
If it is UTG – it is simple since you are first to act and can either limp or bet to contribute to VPIP or both VPIP and PFR. So a player with VPIP/PFR 20/17 at this position bets 17% of hands and limps 3% of hands.
But what if it is button? You can enter the pot by any of 4 ways. Moreover, there are some hands which are good for both calling and betting from this position (AQ, small pairs, suited connectors, etc.). So the actual PFR figure will be dependant on the frequency of other players who act before you bet their hand. If they bet – you call, if nobody bets – you bet. In the first case it only VPIP is affected, in the second – both VPIP and PFR. So how can I find out villain's calling range from certain position by just looking at his stats??? Can anybody help me?
