There are many differences between online poker and live poker. Online poker makes it possible to win back a large number of hands in a relatively short period of time. In live poker, we have the ability to get "physical" information on each opponent. However, the main difference is still the ability to use HUD in online poker.
Every professional online player will tell you that the HUD is their main friend and assistant in the game... and for good reason. However, many live players or just beginners in poker do not know what HUD is, what stats are, or simply do not know how to apply this information in a real game. In this article, I would like to talk about what HUD is, what it is eaten with, and discuss its most important and necessary stats.
In almost every article or video I have talked about certain HUD stats, however, some players might not understand what they are talking about. Therefore, in today's article, I would like to conduct a small "educational program" for beginner online players regarding the HUD and its basic stats.
The HUD is the most powerful weapon in poker for getting information on your opponents and creating an "edge" over them.
What is HUD?
So, HUD is an abbreviation for English « HUD – heads up display». This is a small information panel in online poker with a certain set of various statistical indicators (stats) next to the name of the corresponding player. In my videos it looks like this:
Main stats in HUD
VPIP: This is one of the most important (if not most important) stat in our HUD. VPIP is the percentage of hands that we voluntarily put money into the pot with. So, for example, if a player posts the big blind and no longer invests a cent in the pot, then such a hand does not count in VPIP, since the blinds are not voluntary bets, but mandatory. Basically, this stat tells us how often a player enters the game preflop. A high VPIP tells us that a player is very active preflop, while a low VPIP tells us that the player is very selective with his starting hands.
PFR: The PFR stat gives us information about how often a player raises preflop. This includes raises in the form of: open raises, isolates, 3-bets, 4-bets cold, etc. A high PFR tells us that a player tends to play most of their hands aggressively. A low PFR can be interpreted in different ways, which is why we should consider PFR in conjunction with the VPIP stat.
A large gap between VPIP and PFR will mean the player tends to play more passively, while a small gap will mean more aggressive play.
AF: This stat is called "aggression factor". Its formula looks like this: (Bets + raises)/Calls . In fact, this indicator determines the propensity of each individual player to aggressive actions. This stat can be used in a variety of ways. For example, if a player has AF=3, this means that he is 3 times more likely to like to make an aggressive action than to call. If a player has AF=1, then he calls and bets (raises) with the same frequency.
Good players understand that aggressive poker is winning poker, and therefore a low AF score will usually indicate a player with a weak poker understanding.
This stat should be used with caution, especially on a small sample of hands, but in general it will give us general idea about what to expect from a particular player.
ATS: This stat tells us how often an opponent tries to steal (steal) the blinds from steal positions. That is, ATS is the percentage of a player in CO, BTN and SB raises when all other players have folded before him. And this is a very important stat, because it will tell us about the player's positional awareness. And this is a direct indicator of how well the player understands the strategy of winning poker. A high ATS player, especially with a large sample of hands, understands that being aggressive in late position is an integral part of winning play.
This stat will also help us put opponents on ranges of hands. Let's say we have 2 players with 18/15 stats each. But at the same time, one of them has ATS=16%, and the other has 34%. Obviously, a player with 34% will be a more positionally oriented opponent and will raise much less frequently from early position than from late position. And a player with ATS=16% will have more static ranges and evenly distributed across all positions, due to his ignoring or misunderstanding of the positional advantage in poker.
3 Bet: This stat will tell us how often a player 3bets preflop. That is, it is the percentage of the player's 3-bets when given the opportunity. This stat will help us in determining the range of the enemy, and accordingly in choosing the best line of play against him. We shouldn't steal a lot if we expect to get 3-bets from our opponent often, and vice versa, we should increase the frequency of our steals if our opponent doesn't like to 3-bet a lot.
flop CB: How often does an opponent c-bet (continue bet) on the flop when given the opportunity. Remember, a continuation bet is a bet made by the preflop aggressor. High FlopCB means that the player is c-betting with most of his opening range, and therefore will often have weak hands or just air there. And low c-bets tell us that a player will only bet on the flop with the strongest part of his range.
Fold versus flop CB: How often a preflop caller will fold to flop c-bets. A high value for this stat will indicate a fit-or-fold player that can be exploited very easily and profitably.
hands: The number of hands you have on your opponent. You can only get hands on an opponent when you play with him at the same table, so this stat will also be an indicator of how many hands you played with each specific player (unless, of course, you downloaded third-party mining). On a small sample of hands, most stats will be worthless (unreliable), especially the most specific ones like Donk Turn or Call 4-Bet. Stats like VPIP and PFR, which are updated every hand, become reliable faster than others. A good sample is usually considered a sample of 500+ hands, and an excellent sample is 1000+, but for some stats, even 60 hands is enough, and for some, even 1000 hands will not be enough.
Conclusion
As you can see, almost every stat represents a certain percentage. VPIP is the percentage of hands a player enters the pot with preflop. 3Bet - percentage of 3bets. If you are a live player or you simply do not have the opportunity to use a HUD, then you can visualize it in your mind. If, for example, you played 10 hands and your opponent entered the game 4 times, then his VPIP will be around 40%. If he c-bets the flop 3 times out of 15 opportunities given to him, then FlopCB he will have 20%. HUD stats simply show the frequency with which players take certain actions.
Well, the next time you see my next article or video in which I will talk about HUD and stats, you will already understand what exactly I am talking about!
the prophet of Allah, who was sent to the Yemeni tribe of hell, who lived in the place of Al-Ahkaf in Eastern Hadhramaut (Quran, 46: 21). Hood was born in Al-Ahkaf. His genealogy went back to Sam (Shem), the son of Nuh (Noah). From the early childhood he believed in Allah, worshiped Him and led a righteous life. For some time he was engaged in trade. The Hell tribe was a numerous, wealthy and influential tribe. They lived in fertile lands, had beautiful gardens and lived in magnificent palaces and buildings (Iram zat al-Imad). They also possessed good physical data, were tall and strong people. However, the adites became proud and strayed from the path of Allah, apostatized from religion, became idolaters. Using their wealth and other blessings given to them by Allah, they began to terrify other tribes, to create wickedness. They captured people and tortured them. For this reason, Allah chose Hud and sent him to the Adites. Hood urged them to return to the true path, to lead a righteous life, to renounce violence and cruelty. He told them: "O my people! Worship Allah. You have no other god but Him, and you only invent [gods for yourself]. O my people! I do not ask you for a reward for [a call to the true faith], for he will reward I am the one who created me. Don't you understand? O my people! Ask for forgiveness from your Lord, and then repent before Him, and He will send you abundant rain from the sky and multiply your strength many times over. So do not depart [from me] sinners" (Quran, 11: 50-52). For a long time the prophet Hud preached among the Adites, tried to turn them away from idolatry and injustice. However, in general, the people rejected him, although there were believers among them. The leaders of the Adites said to him: “Indeed, we see that you are a fool, and we think that you are a liar” (Quran, 7: 66). Nevertheless, Hood continued to patiently admonish his people. In response to their demands, he, with the help of Allah, showed them several miracles: he turned a large rock into dust, changed the direction of the wind. But despite this, the Adites did not believe. Then Hud warned them about the great punishment from Allah, which can befall them for disbelief: "Verily, I fear that you will be punished on a great day" (Quran, 46: 21). Hud also said that Allah will destroy them and bring other people to these places. To this, the Adites replied: "Have you really come to turn us away from our gods? So reveal what you threaten us with, if you are right" (Quran, 46: 22). Then the desperate Hud raised a prayer to Allah: "Lord! Help me [against them], as they reject me!" Allah replied: "Soon they will certainly have to repent" (Quran, 23: 39-40). After some time, the inhabitants of the city saw a large cloud in the distance. They said, "This is the cloud that will give us rain." Hud objected to them: "Oh no! This is what you hurried - a hurricane that entails a painful punishment. It destroys everything that exists at the command of its Lord" (Quran, 46: 22). Thus, Allah destroyed the tribe of Adites with a strong hurricane for their unbelief, pride and wickedness: "We sent a hurricane on them in the unfortunate days so that they would taste the pangs of shame in this life, and the punishment in the next life is more shameful, and no one will protect them [from this punishment]" (Qur'an, 41:16). After that, Allah, as promised, brought other people to their lands: "Then after them We created other generations [of people]" (Quran, 23: 42). Only Hud and a few of the Adites who believed were saved from destruction. They left these places and settled on the site of modern Mecca, where Hood lived the rest of his life and died. They served Allah and prayed in the Kaaba.
Hood
the prophet of Allah, who was sent to the Yemeni tribe of hell, who lived in the place of Al-Ahkaf in Eastern Hadhramaut (Quran, 46: 21). Hood was born in Al-Ahkaf.

After that, Allah, as promised, brought other people to their lands: "Then after them We created other generations [of people]" ( Koran, 23: 42). Only Hud and a few believers from Adites were saved from destruction. They left these places and settled on the site of modern Mecca, where Hud lived the rest of his life and died. They served Allah and performed prayers in the Kaaba.

НUD (head-up display)) is a unique tool for online poker compared to "live" games. It serves to display data about your opponents in real time. Poker is a game of information and the more information we have, the better game we can play. But, having information is useless until you know how to interpret it correctly.
In this article, I will tell you about many statistical indicators, including those that I do not usually use myself. You can display and analyze a bunch of stats, but one fine day you will still stop at some personal and convenient set of statistical indicators for you. The stats used are very dependent on your play style. I play LAG style and you will probably notice that I am always interested in how often my opponent folds and how I can use it. If you play TAG-style, then perhaps you should focus on indicators that reflect opponents' tendencies to call with worse hands, etc. The time you spent on serious work on analyzing statistical indicators, adjusting and optimizing them is more than offset by savings time to make decisions at the tables and profit from the game.
BASE HUD
VPIP. This is one of the most important statistics that tells us how often our opponents put money into the pot on their own initiative (i.e., if a player does not bet for several hands, except for the mandatory blinds, then this indicator will zero). I use a color scheme for this stat that helps me quickly see how many or how few hands an opponent is playing and make quick guesses about a given player's type.
PFR. This stat is always used in conjunction with VPIP and I also have a color scheme set up for it. This indicator characterizes how often the opponent raises preflop. Always consider PFR in relation to VPIP. VPIP/PFR stats 17/15 and 72/15 are a huge difference. Also, this statistic is quite strictly tied to ATS.
ATS. The opponent's propensity to steal blinds is extremely important to us. This indicator allows us to determine the level of awareness of the opponent about the advantages of positional play. For example, consider two 16/13 players with ATS scores of 15% and 35%, respectively. We can immediately conclude that the first player has clearly vague ideas about the possibilities of using the position and the strength of the hands played by him practically does not change when approaching from early positions to late ones. Thanks to this, we have a whole array of information - from his 3-bet range to his MP2 open-raising range. ATS is also very helpful in determining our best 3-betting range. Assuming that as ATS goes up, so does Foldv3B, we can use "Poker Stove" to estimate the "O-Range vs Cont-Range" ratio (Opponent's opening range vs. in response to our action) and mathematically justify building an optimal 3-bet range against a particular opponent.
3 B. This value tells us how often our opponent 3bets preflop. Using this percentage, we can roughly figure out what range of cards he does this with and what line to play against him (4bet/fold/flat). It is very important to examine this relative to our opponent's position: whether he is 3-betting tight from early and middle positions, but also wide from the button or from the blinds (which often tells us about a high re-steal rate).
FROMB. Our awareness of our opponent's flop c-betting range is also very important. If a player has a high CV, say 80%+, then we can absolutely assume that he often makes continuation bets without thinking about the presence of value in his hand. If, on the contrary, the CV is very low (say 40%), then a continuation bet from such an opponent on the flop suggests real strength. Sometimes, this stat helps us to plan our line postflop and by using CB in combination with postflop aggression we can significantly improve our actions. Assuming a 14/8 player with a 55% CB raises from UTG, we call his OTB bet with pocket 22 and end up heads-up on the flop with him. The flop is Js6c5h and he checks. Given his rather narrow c-betting range, we can safely assume that Villain doesn't have a made hand in this situation, and checking is a sign of weakness, and try to win the pot. It is very likely that we will be able to knock out a fairly wide range of his hands with our bet, such as AK/AQ/77/88/99.
hands. Everything that we have talked about, and will continue to talk about, is based on this stat. You should always take sample size into account. If you have 500 hands on someone, then the statistics are much more representative than if you only had 30 hands. I start to take statistics more or less seriously if I have at least 200 hands on my opponent, and starting at about 500 hands, the statistics can be considered fairly objective. But always take into account the fact that the game of many of your opponents changes over time. So I advise you to display the stats for at least the last three months. Someone who recently played 11/7 can play 16/14 today, don't forget that.
SUPPORT INDICATORS
FoldvCB. Very useful stat. If we know our opponent folds a bunch of hands to c-bets, we will often continue betting even with air without thinking about board structure. If our opponent doesn't like to fold to C-bets (for example, his FoldvCB = 35%), we will be able to collect value from him several streets with strong hands. You can also use the index CallflopCB, but keep in mind that this stat doesn't take into account how often Villain raises c-bets, and I personally only use the fold to c-bet indicator.
Foldv3 B. If you widely use the re-steal technique, then you must be guided by this indicator. This stat tells us how often our opponent folds when faced with a 3-bet. If I'm re-stealing, I always look at how often a player is stealing and I'm looking at "O-Range vs Cont-Range" to determine my profitable 3-bet range. As poker develops, this figure decreases markedly. Until recently, 80% was considered the standard, but these days it's not uncommon for you to run into strong stealing players whose Foldv3B will be 65% or even lower.
But this is not all the advantages of this stat. If you're thinking about a squeeze, you can easily evaluate the Foldv3B of the "original" raiser as well as potential callers. You can use Foldv3B to bluff. You can use Foldv3B to increase value with 3-betting size. If your opponent has, say, Foldv3B=15% and is not at all embarrassed to call 3-bets often, then you can very well increase the size of your 3-bet with AA for example, getting a lot of extra value money. Always consider this stat in relation to your open raise. For example, a 10/8 player will often have Foldv3B=40% or less, as his opening range is exceptionally strong and there are very few hands he will fold to your 3-bet.
FoldvTurnCB. This parameter means the following: how often our opponent folds in a situation where we raised preflop, c-bet on the flop, and bet a second barrel on the turn. This is a particularly useful stat for bluffing (against floating) or value betting (against players who give up to continue aggression with a mediocre hand). If you're playing TAG, be sure to look at your opponent's FoldvTurnCB when you're going to multi-barrel with KQ on boards like Qxxx, for example.
WTSD.
I don't put this stat in my HUD on purpose, but I use it quite often nonetheless. If you notice a high WTSD behind your opponent, then be prepared that he will very often cling to a more or less suitable board and drag his pair to showdown, considering his hand valuable enough for this. Consider this stat in conjunction with VPIP. A 12/10 opponent with 25% WTSD is very different from a 60/5 with 25% WTSD. There will always be many more strong hands in the range of the former, and think carefully before going with him to showdown. Accordingly, it is not difficult to guess how good your odds will be against the second player.
W[email protected]
SD.
Another metric that I don't use in real time. This stat tells you how often your opponent wins money in a showdown. This helps us indirectly determine how often a player goes to showdown with strong or weak hands. I think this stat should be considered in conjunction with WTSD. If you have opp 18/12, WTSD=16%, [email protected]\u003d 60%, then you probably should not bring the matter to a showdown without a very strong hand. But if you play against a friend 42/17, WTSD=34%, [email protected]=41%, then it will be enough for you to play standard value betting, and sometimes value bet a little lighter.
ADVANCED PERFORMANCE
BlindSpecificFold & Resteal. I've only recently started using this stat myself, but I'm already fully appreciating its benefits now that the game has become more aggressive in terms of stealing/re-stealing. I display both stats in the HUD - SB resteal&foldvsteal and BB resteal&foldvsteal. I don't need the CallvSteal stat, because it is obvious that: 100 - resteal - foldvsteal = callvsteal and I see no reason to clutter up the monitor screen with duplicate indicators. Both stats are great for helping me decide who to steal wide and who not to, and how I need to plan and balance my 4-bet range against my opponents. It also frees me from having to constantly get into pop ups and spend time saying to my opponent with all my actions: “Wait, please, now I will check your statistics to decide whether to light 4-bet, give me a couple of seconds until I'll figure out if it's possible to play against you like that or not.
FoldvFlopCR. A very important stat for tough players. I always want to know if my opponent likes to continue with something that is not in the top of his range so I can check-raise him. If he's not inclined to take on average hands, then I'm happy to raise against his C-bet. Also this stat helps me when I hit a great hand on the flop. Let's say I hit a set against a type with FoldvFlopCR=85%. I won't check-raise because I will almost always fold. I'd rather check-call the flop and either donk or check-raise the turn.
RiverCallWin. I love this stat. It lets me know how often my opponent is winning pots by calling the river. I can't rely entirely on this figure, but I can use it correctly based on the line of a particular hand. If I choose a donk line (bet flop/check turn/ bet river) and know that my opponent has a very low RiverCallWin, then I can increase my betting size when I do it for value. Also I won't bluff the river against him as he rarely folds. I can certainly use this indicator in combination with WTSD and [email protected] If I know my opponent is going to showdown very often and his RiverCallWin is very low, then I can value bet him until he drops. If his RiverCallWin% is high, then I can usually assume that he only goes to showdown with really strong hands and he won't pay me for my betting with his weak hands.
POP UP
Once you have a good grasp of the basic stats and have enough hands on your opponents, you can start painting your opponents with more detailed information using Pop Up. Let's talk about what parameters you should pay attention to in the first place.
EPPFR. If my 15/12 opponent raises from UTG, I can't be sure about his range in this spot. All I can assume is a tight player. But there is a huge difference between how I should play against someone who raises from UTG=5% and someone who raises 11% of hands here. Pop up gives us a great opportunity to see "exact" data about the raising preferences of players from any position. The tight EP PFR implies that we will be dealing with a very strong hand, but still getting great implied odds.
On the other hand, Villain's wide range of EP PFR limits us significantly in implied situations, and calling such a raise with a marginal hand is not always a good idea. The above concept is quite valid for MPPFR.
3 B% Byposition. If I have a 14/12 player with 3B=3% in front of me, I can't say much about him. But if I see EP3B=0%, MP3B=1%, LP3B:=5% and Blinds3B=7% in his stats, I can already imagine his 3-betting concept. So if this gentleman wants to 3-bet my steal, I can often call him with a very wide range, 4-betting or floating based on the information I have.
3 B + CB. This stat is not in my standard HUD, but I look at it in Pop up by default (even when deciding whether to call a 3-bet from my opponent), planning how often I can float flops, and especially with medium pairs. If a player has a wide 3-betting range but doesn't c-bet often, then I can float more liberally and bet when he checks. If he 3-bets wide and c-bets are 100% off the charts, I'll be happy to float a lot and even raise his c-bets a lot.
callopenRaise. This indicator sits in my HUD. It helps me a lot in determining the ranges of opponents calling my open raises. If I see an opponent's COR is 5%, it will usually look like 22-QQ. And the higher the opponent's COR, the more I can open against him.
CORRELATION OF STATISTICAL PARAMETERS
Statistical parameters are very useful on their own, but you will have much more benefits if you learn how to use disparate indicators in combination with each other. This skill will greatly help you get a more realistic idea of the nature and tendencies of your opponents' play. In this section, we'll talk about statistical correlation, which I use to improve hand reading, rank player types, and plan my own play lines.
VPIP &
PFRgap.
I don't use the AF/AFq options while playing because I find too few options for them. practical application. But I get a good idea of the aggression of opponents based on the VPIP & PFR Gap, which means the difference (literally, gap - “gap, interval”) between the values of VPIP & PFR. Let's imagine a player with 15/x stats. A relatively small VPIP & PFR Gap characterizes an aggressive player, as we can guess. We will expect him to isolate raise, c-bet hard and try to play good positional poker with him. But if his VPIP&PFR Gap is high enough, then we have no doubts about his passivity. We can reap a lot of open-limbs, cold-calls and fit-or-fold post-flop play from him.
But, meanwhile, note for yourself that I used the word "relatively" is not at all accidental. Let's imagine now two different players - 12/10 and 42/10. Both have PFR=10%, but they represent completely different types due to the VPIP&PFR Gap. Here you also need to use the concept of “how far the “interval” is located. Let's say we have one player 14/10 (gup = 4%) and another 24/18 (gup = 6%). Well, we can't say that a player with a smaller gup is more aggressive, and that's pretty obvious.
ATS & 3 B. Imagine another pair of players: Player #1 (15/12, ATC=35%, 3B=4%) and Player #2 (15/12, ATC=16%, 3B=4%). Both have exactly the same VPIP / PFR / 3B%, but differ greatly in terms of ATC. What can we say about it?
Of course, we can confidently say that the player with the higher ATS (Player #1) is slightly better at taking advantage of positional play. Both of them are thinking players and play a lot of hands from late position against early position, and stealing is a consequence of their awareness. But pay attention to their 3-bet rate, doesn't that mean anything to you?
Each of them uses 3-bet for completely different reasons. Let's say everyone folds to us, we steal with T9s from the button and get a 3-bet from the big blind. If Player #1 is in the BB, then he probably understands that we are trying to steal the blind and re-steals.
But if Player #2 is in the BB, we will very rarely expect the same action from him. He will only 3-bet when he thinks his hand is good enough to do so. And his range, which includes only strong hands, is practically not polarized.
From these examples, you can see that it is always worthwhile to be selective with your opponents so that your 4bet/flat/fold play in such situations is the most optimal.
ATS/Blind Specific Resteal & Foldv3B. I especially like this parameter, which helps a lot to diversify my preflop play and especially in terms of aggression in positional fights with opponents. The name of this indicator immediately hurts the eye, but it is he who will allow you to significantly simplify the decision-making process. This correlation very often lets me know about the propensity of opponents to fold to 4-bet. Foldv4B is in the HUD, but almost never we will be able to confidently use it, because. to get the correct value, we need to have a huge sample of hands on the opponent, not to mention the analysis of his behavior in specific situations.
But the ATS and Blind Specific Resteal metrics come to my rescue, which give an idea of how often the opponents will play aggressively and re-steal my attempts to steal the blinds. We have already found out that if a player has high ATS and Resteal values, then, as a rule, we have a thinking player who knows the intricacies of positional play and uses 3-betting vs. stealing extensively.
Let's imagine a player 17/15, ATS=42%, SBresteal=9%, Fv3B=72%. We decided to steal-raise from the button and got a 3-bet from him. In this situation, it is not profitable for us to continue the draw and catch a set in a 3-bet pot, and our opponent is well aware of this, judging by his statistics. However, his high re-steal rate tells me that he can only play OOP if he polarizes his range significantly. That said, his fold to 3-bet is over 70%, which means this guy is quite selective about the hands he will continue to play in such big pots.
From all of this, we conclude that his 3-bet range is quite wide, highly polarized with trash cards, and he folds to 4-bet much more often the further the hand continues. The very strong correlation between Foldv3B and Foldv4B, coupled with a liberal re-steal range, suggests that 4-betting against this opponent can be very profitable. From here, a simple calculation of O-Range vs. Cont-Rang to choose the optimal hand size/frequency/strength for successful 4-betting against such a player.
Limp/ call& FoldvCB. I like to use this combination of indicators in isolation. If I see that a player has Limp/Call=80% and FoldvCB=80%, then I can literally isolate him on “any two” without looking back. I will sometimes even increase the size of the raise, being sure that he will call with everything preflop and give me pots postflop. It will be my machine for printing money, and I will never refuse to have such a machine. Naturally, we can use this ratio against other types of players as well. Let's say the opponent has Limp/Call=72% and FoldvCB=45%. He likes to call preflop, but doesn't always fold to c-bets. This is where I'll have to not only think about changing my preflop bet sizing, but also think about adjusting my hand range since I won't be able to get enough folds postflop anymore. You can see for yourself what help the ability to analyze combinations of seemingly different indicators will provide you.
FoldvCB& FoldvTurnCB. If you're playing aggressively, this correlation will greatly simplify your post-flop play, allowing you to plan your play line pre-flop. Imagine a player with FoldvCB = 40% and FoldvTurnCB = 90%. It is immediately clear that he likes to float on the flop, but at the same time he falls off remarkably on the second barrel, if he does not collect a very strong hand on the turn. From here, you play against him with a second barrel only with a bluff, and, conversely, try not to knock him out of the pot if you have a good hand. We can also use the FoldvCB&FoldvTurnCB ratio to generate value lines in hands.
Let's say we open with pocket 77 and Villain (20/10, 3B=2%, FoldvCB=76% FoldvTurnCB=33%) calls in position. The flop is J73. We c-bet and get called again. The turn is the 3. We see him fold to the c-bet of the flop, but he's reluctant to do so on the turn. And this is a great situation to put a second barrel into it, while also increasing the size of the standard bet (for example, up to 85% of the pot), extracting maximum value. Accordingly, if he had FoldvCB=76%, then I would probably significantly reduce the size of the turn bet, or even play a check-raise. And again you see that for planning such lines it is not enough to operate only VPIP and PFR.
CONCLUSION
Whenever you play, consider statistics as your faithful assistant. Be sure to try to consider statistical indicators relative to each other to make optimal decisions. There are many more correlations than the ones I've told you about and which I use especially often when analyzing my sessions. There's a lot of logic in all of them, and I'm sure there are hundreds of other statistical parameter relationships that I myself don't know much about yet. Always try to use different stats to work out the best lanes against different opponents during the game.
I hope that my article will help most of you take a fresh look at statistics. Perhaps this will be some starting point for you to start a new configuration of your "default" HUD. Don't forget that poker is a game of information, so get information and make it work for you, making your poker life easier and more profitable!
Enjoy and good luck!
