The statistics will be shown like on image:

There is a lot of stats which poker tracker offer, here is the four most common used:

VPIP - (%) - money voluntary put in the pot - percent of hands where you did not compelled bets on preflop to the general number of hands. That is here you get all calls and raises, but the check on big blind or fold on small does not count. Basically, the given size will be close enough to given by poker rooms flop seen, for some percent lower. Perhaps, it is the most important characteristic, allowing to divide players on loose/tight. Giving statistics on the opponent, VPIP usually be the first. At good players average size VPIP of 18 %, with in a range of 13-28 %. Sometimes there are very much tight players "stones" at which VPIP 10% and lower, against such it is necessary to try "to steal blinds" raising much more but if they have entered into game, especially with an raise, it is necessary to play only with the best cards. If loose, it is possible to dare to play the majority of opponents with more hands which give nuts and less the senior cards. That is to play АТо it is not so favorable against a plenty of opponents, and here Т9s (suited connectors) or 33 (smaller pairs) - it is normal, if you will collect straight, flush or set they will pay you for them in full.

PFR - preflop raise (%) - raise on preflop - the percent of hands from total where you did raise on preflop (the call on another's raise is not set off, reraise - is set off). The second characteristic on importance, also is written usually second too allows to divide players on passive/aggressive. Average value - 9 %, With in a range of 7-13 %. Raise from the player in low PFR it is necessary to respect, usually it is the senior pair or AK. Very high PFR it is usual in a combination with also high VPIP specifies the maniac. Against the maniac it is better to play hardly tight, to sit it is desirable or at once before or after the maniac. If you to the left of him on preflop, after it raise is better to give 3-bet for isolation and play with him heads up. If you sit to the right of him you will have an opportunity to finish a round, you will see actions of opponents before you, when having a good card receive an excellent opportunity for the check-raise with reception of bets from all table.

AF - aggression factor - the factor of aggression - numerical expression of aggression of the player, is considered as (% bets + % raise) / % calls. The factor of aggression can be calculated separately in each round of game, but the general factor of aggression is usually used. It, perhaps, the third characteristic on the importance, allowing to estimate aggression of the player after preflop. The average factor of aggression on flop and turn is 2,8 (a range 2-3,5), on river hardly below - 2,1 (1,6-2,5). The good player is aggressive enough, slowplay on a full table especially is not recommended, normal cards should be protected, bad - fold. Be cautious with passive players if at you the card is worse than top pair top kicker, frequent you are will be beaten(if he raises). It is not necessary to be afraid of raises from very aggressive players, they can too actively play dro or raising on turn only the second pair.

WSD - went to showdown (%) - the percent of delivery in which the player looked flop and has reached showdown. One more important characteristic, allows to estimate loose/tight player after the preflop. Average size - 32 %, a range of 27-38 %. On size WSD is better to define "resistibility" to a bluff. The player with high WSD (so-called "calling station") will answer with the younger pair or even a naked ace against the stop, the bluff becomes senseless. The player with low value is afraid to lose, on dangerous flop they can fold any card, except for nuts, against them the bluff is most effective.

Also often when trying to steal blinds or protect blinds, which is very important part of the game, analyze this parameters:

Folded SB/BB to steal - percent of the hands folded on small/big блайнде against attempt " to steal blinds " (such attempt considers any raise from two last positions if before any player has not entered the game). Average size for small blind - 83 %, for big - 63 %, ranges, accordingly 68 % - 91 % and 21-79 %. It is desirable to know the given size for opponents from whom you are going to steal blinds, than above - it is necessary for those to raise more safely. But basically, at game on a full table on low limits such opportunity will be given extremely rare.

Attempts to steal blinds - percent of attempts to steal блайнды to the given opportunities. The previous parameter showed on protection of blinds, this - on their attack. Average value of 28 %, in a range from 19 % up to 33 %. Then higher the given percent at attacking, than it is necessary to protected against such player more actively, he can attack with hands much worse yours. But besides in long lowlimit game it is not so important.
