Interpreting Poker Tracker numbers

[BrickWall]

Hey,

I recently began using PT and PAHUD. I have a general understanding of the various numbers. I am just wondering what the best way is to use those numbers against your opponents. The only way I use them right now is to not give as much credit for raises from aggresive players and vice versa. Any other good ways to use the numbers?

The autorate function in PT is useful. If you use GameTime+, it displays the icon for the player. If you have good rules set up, you can get good info from that. Most helpful to me is to know whether to value bet or check to trap postflop.

I've got PAHud showing me preflop cold-call percentages, which lets me know if I'm likely to get position by raising preflop.

You can value bet guys with low aggro, but if they bet or raise - be warned.

%went to showdown is useful to judge whether someone is capable of laying a hand down. But it's somewhat tied to VIP as a rock playing top premium hands is more likely to see the showdown than a station limping everything and completely missing most flops/turns.

VIP/PFR/post flop aggro are useful after only 30 - 50 hands whereas many other stats need 100s or 1000s of hands before the statistics converge to somehing that represents their tru value.
