Thanks for providing some type of answer. Since I am new, I require explanation. What is VP$IP% and PFR%.

If you play "right" for the game you're playing, the stats will take care of themselves.

QFT

After 15k hands I am a 18/9 player. My VPIP or times I voluntarily put money in the pot is 18%. There are some good players who have much higher VPIP's because they play the right hands in the right positions against the right opponents. They maximize playing in pots with weak players and minimize play against strong players.

PFR is your preflop raise percentage. I have seen some of my opponents around 4 percent yet are big winners in the micros. My weakness is navigating after the flop. I am getting better but this is a leak I need to fix. So in your case I will recommend studying on how to play AK, or overcards, after the flop if you miss. It's not always so cut and dry. There will be situations where calling, raising and folding will all be correct.

I just got PT today and my stats made me sad LOL. I thought that I was a much more aggressive player, but my stats look like this:

vpip-20.96
pfr -13.97
af -2.26

4.06 bb/ 100

This is at .50/1 with a silly small sample size.
