Still learning to understand PT...

If you just had the VPIP and PFR on the following players (assume a sample of 700-1000 hands), what would you be able to say about them?

VPIP --------------PFR
25.0 --------------- 9.4
47.2 -----------------2.8
14.0 ----------------4.7

Is this for 6 max or full ring? I can get more specific if I know the answer to that, but generally speaking:

full ring

I had a hell of a time against this dude the other night. I can identify the more extreme ends of the number ranges, but what do you think when you see this on a hand sample of about 150?

VPIP 28
PFR 12
FA 2.52
TA 1.70
RA 2.80

Thank the maker that buddy overplayed an overpair when I floped top set. Until that death blow, he was in the way of almost everything I tried to do.

he is a lag, just re-raise him with your good hand's preflop. Reraise him preflop with hand like AQ and AJ and other things you normally dont raise with. Re-raise him on your good draws or pairs, most of your re-raise he will fold to. Don't let him draw cheap, make him pay. Be careful of low coordinated boards, 5

9

2

is a safe board except against a lag, that is right in their neiborhood.

also dont always assume he has a hand when he C-bets.

First, I almost entirely disagree with everything Brian said. He's describing how to play against... well.... not this guy.

This guy is basically a good player, but a little bit on the passive side.

Wait - Is this full ring again? I keep forgetting that you don't play 6 max. OK, forget that - in full ring, this guy is too loose. But I still disagree with almost everything Brian wrote.
