Stupid question, but I have to ask..

[Kukelure]

I am using pokertracker, and I am running around 30/14 aggressionfactor 2,5. I do not fully understand the first number and what it indicates, it says vpip (volume put in pot), but it does not make that much sense to me.
Yeah I know I suck, but I have to ask right.

And another question as well, I have seen that the good semi tight players have something around 20/15/2,5 as well, I know these numbers are individual, but what is an ideal number for say, a loose aggressive player and a tight aggressive player?

vpip = % of times you voluntarily put money into the pot preflop.

Many successful styles, but good lags are usually around 30/25ish. You are probably limping and/or coldcalling too many raises if your numbers (30/14) are that far apart.

Take a look at the master sticky, especially Pokey's How to Use Pokertracker Thread.

the only stupid question is the one that goes unasked, thats what these forums are about becoming better players
