Aggression Factor: Poker Stat Definition & How to Read It

Also known as AF

The definition, with context from real hands and how it connects to the rest of your strategy.

Quick answer

Aggression Factor (AF): (Bets + Raises) / Calls: how aggressively a player plays.

In more detail

AF = (bets + raises) ÷ calls, usually measured postflop. Benchmark bands (guidelines from commonly published winning-player norms for 6-max online cash, not solver output): below 1 = passive, calls dominate · 1–3 = balanced, with most winning regs in the 2–3 zone postflop · above 3 = very aggressive, often over-bluffing at low stakes. One overall AF number hides a lot: per-street aggression is more meaningful, and the ratio needs thousands of hands before it means much.
