Poker Stat Glossary

Preflop

VPIP

Voluntarily put money in preflop (call or raise — blind posts and checks don’t count). Walks are excluded from the denominator, like PokerTracker.

PFR

Raised preflop. Same walk-excluded denominator as VPIP.

3-Bet

Re-raised against exactly one open, without having already entered the pot. A limp-reraise is NOT counted (HM3 semantics) — stated because trackers differ.

Fold v 3B

As the original opener, folded when facing the first 3-bet.

4-Bet

Raised against a 3-bet — as the opener OR cold (PT4 folds both into one stat).

Cold-call

Called a raise with no money already invested, from a non-blind seat (any raise — opens, 3-bets, 4-bets).

Squeeze

Raised over an open plus at least one caller, having not entered yet.

Limp

Entered an unraised pot by calling (SB completes count; the BB can’t limp).

Limp-fold

Of your limps that faced a raise, how often you folded.

Steal

First-in raise from CO, BTN or SB.

Fold SB v Steal

In the SB, folded to a first-in steal raise.

Fold BB v Steal

In the BB, folded to a first-in steal raise.

Postflop

C-bet F

As the last preflop raiser, made the flop’s opening bet when checked to.

C-bet T

Continued the barrel: c-bet flop, then made the turn’s opening bet.

C-bet R

Triple barrel: c-bet flop + turn, then the river’s opening bet.

Fold v C-bet F

Folded directly to a flop c-bet (responses only — being all-in or facing a raised c-bet doesn’t count).

Fold v C-bet T

Folded directly to a turn c-bet (double barrel).

Fold v C-bet R

Folded directly to a river c-bet (triple barrel).

Raise C-bet

Raised the flop c-bet (same response denominator as fold-to-c-bet).

Donk F

Led into the preflop aggressor on the flop, acting before them.

Probe T

After the flop checked through, led the turn as a non-aggressor acting first.

Delayed C-bet

As the preflop aggressor, checked the flop through then bet the turn.

Check-raise F

Checked, then raised a bet on the flop.

Check-raise T

Checked, then raised a bet on the turn.

Check-raise R

Checked, then raised a bet on the river.

WTSD

Went to showdown, of hands that saw the flop.

W$SD

Won any money at showdown (splits count).

WWSF

Won the hand (any amount), of hands that saw the flop.

AF

Aggression Factor: (bets + raises) ÷ calls, postflop.

AFq

Aggression Frequency: (bets + raises) ÷ (bets + raises + calls + folds), postflop — checks are neutral. The PokerTracker formula.

Results & variance

bb/100

Net big blinds won per 100 hands, using the big blind at the time each hand was played. The ± band is a 95% confidence interval; σ is the standard deviation per 100 hands.

All-in EV

Win rate with every all-in pot settled at its exact equity instead of the actual runout. Luck = actual − EV over those pots.

SD / non-SD

Winnings split into pots that reached showdown vs pots that didn’t (the classic showdown / non-showdown lines).

Rake

Total rake attributed to pots you won, in big blinds — what the graph would gain in a rake-free world.

Walk

You were in the big blind and everyone folded to you. Walks are excluded from VPIP/PFR denominators (nothing was decided).

Where trackers disagree

The same stat name can hide a different formula. These are the definitional choices this product makes, and how to reconcile against the desktop trackers:

3-Bet excludes limp-reraises

HM3 semantics. PT4 counts limp-reraises as 3-bets, so a limpy player’s PT4 3-bet% reads higher than ours.

4-Bet merges opener + cold

One stat like PT4. HM3 splits "4-Bet" and "Cold 4-Bet"; add them to compare.

Fold-to-c-bet counts responses only

Hands where you were already all-in, or where the c-bet was raised before the action reached you, are excluded from the denominator.

Fold-vs-steal is per-seat

SB and BB are separate stats (pooling them hides that the two seats defend very differently).

Walks excluded from VPIP/PFR

PokerTracker behaviour. A tracker that counts walks deflates BB VPIP by several points relative to ours.
