I'm relatively new to pokertracker and was wondering what exactly aggression factor means and the number that is assigned to it. I assume the higher the number, the more aggressive a player is. I also notice that my aggression factor seems to change alot between the different tables i'm playing, so how many hands would a player need to play to have an accurate aggression factor rating. A general explanation of aggression factor or any information woild be greatly appreciated.

usually if a question goes unanswered its because it was missed
aggression factor is your aggression ratio, ie how often you bet or raise vs how often you call. so an af of 3 means bet/raise happens three times as often as call.
i believe that aggression factor is a worthless stat to have on your opponents. it takes a lot of hands to get it right, and even then very few know how to use that information correctly.

Wrong forum. Try tools of poker.

I have no interest in discussing strategy with a protege'. Your job is to remain quiet and listen. I have a very systematic approach that I will share with the right candidate and I promise that I will turn you into a force of nature and show you elements of the game of poker that you never knew existed.

It is a ratio. That means if you never call you get infinate agression. This stat needs other stats to get a decent picture and is misleading by itself, due to its name.
There is a big difference between someone who raises a lot and someone who never calls but they would have the same agression factor.
