I think this is an interesting topic. I multitable on 4 tables at a time (FR) when I play. I don't look at a persons stats without at least 100 hands on them.I treat most of the players the same until they prove to me they aren't a "normal" player. Once they prove to me otherwise I take notes on the player and I use these notes for reads much more than stats. I do put a good amount of stock in AF though. If an opponents AF is less than 1 and he wakes up in a hand I incorporate that into my read. Similarly if an opponent has a high VPIP coupled with a high PFR and is raising preflop I might increase my 3-bet range against him. Or if his VPIP is extremely small and his PFR is small I adjust my range accordingly. To me stats are only good for reads when they are EXTREMELY deviant from a normal range. All in all Stats can be decieving and I think putting too much stock in them is -EV so I trust my notes much more than player stats.
