Part of how I use the stat is what it's intended for. It's to profile a player. It also let's me know a players competence. Most good players aren't stacking off on the turn TPTK vs another competent player. HUD stats can tell me a players competence as a guide but not as an absolute. If someone is playing a reasonable VPIP and theres no huge gap between VPIP and PFR then that's the first of a few signs I'd look for in a competent reg.
If they have a high AF then I know they are capable of raising and POSSIBLY stacking off wide as far as hand strength. If they have a typical or reasonable (relatively speaking) AF then I have to give them credit in a spot like this.
As I said previously. Knowing players are hesitant to fold TPTK like in this situation in the micros it is printing money shoving with 3 of a kind or better here. If I shove and get a call I'm tagging this player and shoving any strong hand on the turn and river with an A on the board until they start making exploitative folds.
Some of the hand analysis for 1/2c and 2/5c makes me laugh. People talk about making these world class nosebleed moves like having balanced 4 bet ranges and 1/3 pot flop bet sizings and all this other stuff. The lowest micro stakes aren't that complicated. It is all exploitative play and exploitative bet sizings. Charge them big to get to showdown when you have the best of it because they'll call, and value bet thin and don't bluff the calling stations. And when it's not some aggro fish maniac shoving and you don't have the nuts then fold.
That's it. It's ABC 2006 TAG winning poker.
