Definition
Aggression factor: Aggression factor (AF) is a stat that compares how often a player bets or raises with how often they call, usually after the flop.

It is calculated as (bets + raises) ÷ calls. A higher number means a more aggressive player, while a value around 1 or below suggests a passive one. AF ignores folds and checks, so read it alongside other stats such as VPIP and PFR, and only trust it over a decent sample of hands.
Example: A player has made 30 bets, 10 raises and 20 calls. Their aggression factor is (30 + 10) ÷ 20 = 2.
