Explanation of the stats:

The stats which are shown in our PokerAce layout and at PokerStrategys Texas Grab'em are the same:


vp$ip - Voluntary put $ into pot in %:

The VPIP value shows how often a player was willing to voluntarily put money into the pot preflop. It doesn't matter whether he raised or called. A VPIP of 20 means that he plays 20% of his hands.

foldbb - foldet Big Blind to Steal

This value shows the percentage of how often a player in the big blind folded to a steal raise.

ats - Attempt to steal:

The ATS shows the percentage of how often a player from the CO or BU position tries to steal the blinds if all players folded in front of him.

pfr - Pre-Flop Raise in %:

The PFR shows the percentage of how often someone raises preflop.

af - Aggression Factor:

The aggression factor is calculated by (Raise % + Bet %) / Call %. But only the postflop values of a player count for this. Since the AF depends also on the VPIP and WTS (see below) it's not possible to say whether one value is passive or aggressive.

w$sd - Won Dollar at Showdown:

The WON$SD shows the percentage of how often a player wins a showdown.

wts - Went to Showdown:

The WTS shows how often a player went to the showdown when he had seen a flop.

hands - total Hands

The number of hands of the player which are saved in your database.

Concerning the split-up of the stats in the official PokerStrategy PokerAce layout:

The stats have been separated in a way that at the top you can see the preflop stats and at the bottom you can see the postflop stats.

The most important values are shown bigger than the not so important values.

If an opponent has "good" values, which are close to the optimum, they are shown green. The more extreme these values are the more red they are shown.
