Introduction
In this article- Which values are of importance pre-flop.
- Which values are of importance post-flop.
- Which values should your own stats have.
In this article you will find information about the different statistics Elephant has to offer and what they mean. It is intended for players who have just begun working with stats. Naturally, players who already use stats will find something of interest to them here too.
Stats are to be handled carefully, as many values need large sample sizes in order to provide an accurate description of your opponent's behaviour. Nonetheless, they can provide you with plenty of helpful information which you can add to your game. However, it can be dangerous to only check stats if you're not taking other factors into account. Always take notes about your opponents in order to recognise their specific playing styles.

Now let's get to the question; which values are particularly important for you as a SSS player? Let's classify them as pre-flop and post-flop values, even though you have to consider many stats in combination one with another.

What sort of sample sizes would be recommended for each stat?I find with the postflop stats I only get a decent sample after lots and lots of hands (1k+) which heavily reduces their use.
I guess its good against regs though.
