How to use Poker Usher
The Data Browser
In the Poker Usher Data Browser, you find the following information:
- Winners
- Number of winners at the table
- Losers
- Number of losing players at the table
- VPIP
(Voluntarily Put in Pot percentage) - VPIP shows how often the player puts money in the pot before the flop compared to the number of hands played, blinds excluded. It shows how tight or loose the player is and is an invaluable piece of information for you.
- PFR
- Tells you how often a player raises any hand (shown as a percentage). A PFR of 50 would mean that a player raises 50% of hands dealt.
- Pre-Flop Raise
- PFR shows how often the player raises before the flop, that is, how passive or aggressive the player is before the flop. A PFR of 100 means the player raises every time he plays a hand. PFR = 50 means that when the player plays a hand, he or she raises half of the time. The most profitable opponent for you to play against is the loose-passive player. That is, players with high VPIP and low PFR. In the long run they will serve you like your own private ATM. This number is shown for each player and as a mean value for the table.
- Avg Agg
(Aggression Factor(AF) (in corner)) - The aggression factor is how often a player bets or raises compared to how often he or she calls. In this factor, the pre-flop action is not included, so Avg Agg gives a picture of the game after the flop.
