i know that i should be using AF as a part of my HUD but i just dont know how to. I have it being displayed so i can get an idea on how aggresive a player is but besides that i am clueless. i can use all my other settings to help in my game but i just cant seem to figure out what to do to use it to my advantage. can someone give me some examples on how this factor can be used to my advantage. Any situation or examples would greatly be appreciated.

Aggression Factor: is the ratio of how often an opponent will bet/raise, divided by how often he calls.

So it can be a number between 0 and infinite.
And it usually will be a number between 0.5 and 5 (0.5 being a very passive player... 5 being a very 'aggressive' player.)


How to use this number. Or how to exploit an opponent whose AF is too high/low:
When it's too low (<1) the opponent is not aggressive enough, which means he will usually call with his drawing hands... or check behind. He only bets when he has a made hand. He does NOT: raise for information, raise with a draw, donkbet, probe-bet, river-bluff, bluff in position (when it's checked to him), float (to steal the pot from you on the turn), he doesn't cbet enough, he doesn't triple barrel bluff, etc.

So valuebet your made hands against him. When he keeps calling, he often will have a draw (or marginal hand). If he makes a crazy bet (or raise), respect his bet.



When it's too high (>3) the opponent is capable of all those moves.
So often let the opponent do the betting for you when you have a made hand. (for example keep check-calling, let him bluff in position)
If he makes a weird raise, he can also do that with a draw (or marginal hand)! So adjust your game accordingly.

Also create a popup: with Aggression by street so you can see his
Flop Agg Factor: Aggression Factor based on the flop only
Turn Agg Factor: Aggression Factor based on the turn only
River Agg Factor: Aggression Factor based on the river only
because a lot of the OVERALL aggression stat, will consist of the 100% Flop continuation bets, when the opponent is a lot LESS aggressive on the turn/river. While other opponents are notorious for their river bluffs.

Note that this stat is often not reliable until 200+ hands. Some people say more than that as well.

under 1 is fairly tight, 1-2 is average, anything above is agressive imo

Hey thanks alot after reading this it has really gave me an opportunity to put this factor into play. i am going to try to set up a group for the different turns and see how it plays out, and hopefully it doesnt take up alot of room tho because i use 8 atm now and find it a lil difficult to have it positioned properly. but i think that those have a possibility on helping me understand what others ranges are a little clearer, Thanks alot
