How to read pokertracker stats?

I have a feeling that i'm going to get lynched for this, but nevertheless...

So i've recently picked up pokertracker to try and improve my game, but am a little unsure as to how to read the stats?

I notice that people will describe a villian by saying something like "he was 20/12/4", but what are those numbers referring to?

What should my stats look like ideally?

Any help is much appreciated.

thanks
FLW

This might be helpfull

VPIP: anything between ~15/28 is fine for Small stakes imo
PFR: anything between ~12/25 is fine.
AF: anything between ~1.5/5 is fine.

This isn't exact science, just an indication.

pokergrapher I think, but the PT website has an excellent forum which will basically answer any q you may have.

34/20/1.23 seems a little loose preflop, and a little passive postflop.

Play tighter in early position, stop calling raises so much, never limp, and postflop, look for reasons why folding or raising might be better than calling.
