Question regarding Aggression Frequency

Hey cookyik,

Agression Frequency (AFq%) operates on a formula of:

(Raises + Bets) / (Raises + Bets + Calls + Folds).

Aggression Percentage ( Agg Pct) operates on a formula of:

(Raises + Bets) / (Raises + Bets + Calls + Folds + Checks).

They are very similar with Agg Pct classing checks as passive while AFq% classes them as neutral.

What this tells you is how often your action is aggressive in regards to your overall actions.

0 - 30 % = Too Passive. Calling station, weak-tight, fit and fold.
30 -60% = Ideal range where low end is less aggressive and high end more aggressive. TAGs to LAGS
60% + Maniac. Bets or raises most pots.

I hope this explains it a bit, but I'm sure someone will add some more.

Hey Laz,

Thanks for the reply
I am not familiar to the Agg Pct stat, I think I have not seen it before,
Anyway, if I am too low on AFq% or Agg Pct, then I should raise/bet more often,
in other word, add some bluffs in my game.

That way I can increase my AFq% as well as Agg Pct.
Do you think my thought is correct?

Cheers

Hi cookyik,

Yes, you are basically correct. You can increase your AFq simply by being more aggressive in general. There are a couple of ways to do this, for example:

1) Cbet more often on the flop, even if you missed.
2) Value bet more thinly on the turn and river.
3) Attack your opponents' weak ranges aggressively.

Of course you should only do any of these when applicable. If you would like any explanation on any of these points just let us know. I can also move this to our No Limit board if you want, it might get some more exposure there

Kind regards,
Tino

the aggro percentage might be of some use if ur a genius. i have never found it of any help over the more specific stats.

Hey Cookyik

I wouldn't worry to much about "fixing" your aggression frequency. Just improve your game and the aggression frequency will improve (whatever that means) as well!

I never use the stat to be honest. I just look what kind of tendencies the villain has. Some keep raising flops in 3b pots. This probably means that his aggression frequency is going to be high, but tbh I never checked that.
