Opponent Reading What are thse Numbers?

I'm relatively new here and I'm confused by the convention of "reading" opponent by posting that "Villain is a 52/3/.7" or whatever.

What do the numbers mean and how do you possibly track people numerically while playing?

My notes and read (Pokerstars could make a fortune by letting people pay to read the notes other player have made on them) are more like: Passive Loose Chaser Total Weiner Called 2BB PF w J6s

VPIP/PFR/postflop AG factor

its how often they end the pot voluntarily(raising or calling a bet, posting BB/SB doesn't count, completing does)

how often they raise

AF is their bet+raise/call postflop ratio

its taken care of by Pokertracker, and a HUD(which displays the stats on the screen)

There is a large breakdown section of these stat in the Micros FAQ, pinned to the top of the forum.

I have Tracker but I didn't know there was a HUD...OMG what a thing! Where do you get it?

BTW, your icon has to be the best bottom set ever

You can get links to several different HUD's on the PT website. There's Gametime+ (free), PlayerView (costs something I think), and most here use Pokerace ($25 I think).

And yes Bottomsets avatar make me feel warm and tingly too.
