Understanding HUD stats
Looking at getting the new pokertracker with the HUD. I wanted to know...
1. Which stats are most affective for 10nl-50nl to show on the HUD?
and
2. How to understand what the stats tell me about my player, such as are the loose, tight, passive, aggressive etc.

Well the most important ones are:
VP$IP, PFR, 3b, fold to 3b
cbet flop, fold to cbet, c/r flop
aggression frequency, won at showdown
a large difference between VP$IP and PFR tells you they're loose-passive
a low VP$IP tells you're they're tight
a high PFR tells you they're aggressive
but that tells you nothing about how they play in 3b pots
some people 3b almost the same range they raise so they'll always call a 3b as well because their raising range is so tight it has a built-in call of a 3b in it
or some people almost always fold to 3b which means 3betting them with the goods is a waste of time since they'll never pay you off, you should bluff them with trash and flat when you have something until they adjust
you want to see if they cbet because if they don't it's pointless to try to check/raise the flop
at the same time you want to see if cbetting a pretty bad flop to cbet is going to be profitable since some players fold a lot to cbets and will fold an exploitable amount of time anyway
and some players just check-raise the shit out of you on the flop, so you should check behind at least some of the time
aggression frequency is just how aggressive someone is post-flop, it's a better measure than aggression factor
40%+ is aggressive
20% is passive
won at showdown tells you if the player goes too far with marginal hands or bluffs a lot
but it takes a long time to converge

Thanks
I'm still curious as to how numbers for each stat show the type of player they are. Such as what range for vpip is considered loose or tight, and etc for the rest of the stats. Thats mostly what I don't know anything about.

look at your own stats
I can't tell you what the stats mean because obviously it differs from 6m and full ring
25/20 is standard tag in 6m, while 16/14 is standard tag in full ring
first number being vpip and second number being PFR
-
vpip/pfr/af/wtsd(went to showdown)/hands played
attsteal/fold steal/cbet/fold cbet
anymore and you will be staring at numbers and not watching players.
the most important factor is THE NOTE TAKING FEATURE.
