Great post! One question though about the PFR "sliding scale:

[ QUOTE ]
a passive preflop player has a PFR under a quarter of their VPIP. That means that this is a floating scale: while 10% PFR is passive for a player who has a VPIP of 55%, it is aggressive for a player who has a VPIP of 15%.

[/ QUOTE ]

Why does it matter how PFR relates to VPIP? In either case, the player is raising 10% of his hands. Why is a loose player who raises 10% of his hands considered less aggressive than a tight player who raises 10% of his hands?

I would think they would be considered equally aggressive, or in a sense the loose player is more aggressive because the sheer number of hands he's raising is higher than the tighter player.
