his vpip volume put in pot is x...like <20 is a tight player
<21- >25 can be a tricky guy

and usually anything +30 is the person you want on your right

the 2nd number is pre flop raise

the lower the preflop raise # is the tighter they are, so 14 is a pretty tight guy

you can look on pokerstove to see what 14% of the hands are...as again the higher the number the bigger the donk

The above answer is pretty much there but I disagree with the PFR statement and I think OP may not even know what software we mean.

So first of all these players are using tracking software like poker tracker or Holdem manager (google them) which keeps detailed infomation on every hand that you and your opponents play.

So this info can be displayed in what's known as a HUD (heads up display) and essentially what you get are a load of numbers that when you know what to look for, you can analyse to help in your decision making.

One thing I would disagree on with the quote above is that PFR (pre flop raise) is indicative of how loose or tight a player is. The statistic VPIP (which is usually the first that people refer to is the measure of how tight a player may or may not be as this gives you the number of hands that they play.

The stat PFR simply tells you the volume of hands that that player raises with.

So for example if a player is a 40/6/0.8 then he plays 40% of his hands (which is way too much) whilst only raising with 6% (which means that when he raises, he probably has a huge hand). So although his PFR% is low, he is still a very loose player.

That last stat at the end would commonly be a players AF (aggression factor) but you can set your HUD up how ever you like.

Hope that helps.

Not really, they don't tell you that someone tanks when they're value betting and bets quickly when bluffing; or that that guy really likes spades or that the other guy will always bet the turn with a draw...
