What is the difference between Aggression Frequency and Aggression Factor?

[Julio88]

It seems that Aggression Frequency (AFq) and Aggression Factor (AF) are both measures of a player's aggressiveness in poker, but they differ in the way they are calculated.

Aggression Frequency (AFq) calculates the percentage of the time that a player is aggressive (i.e. bets or raises) preflop or postflop, while Aggression Factor (AF) takes into account the number of times a player bets or raises compared to the number of times they call.

So, in summary, Aggression Frequency (AFq) is a percentage that measures how often a player is aggressive, while Aggression Factor (AF) is a ratio that compares the number of aggressive actions a player takes with the number of times they call.

In poker, the main distinction between aggression frequency and aggression factor is that the former accounts for folding while the latter does not. Both are comparable, but aggression frequency additionally takes into consideration how often a player folds, accounting for the hands that are abandoned during gameplay.
