Aggression frequency (AFq)

The percentage of a player's flop, turn and river actions that are bets or raises.

What it means: Aggression frequency, or AFq, is a tracking-software stat. It counts every time a player bets or raises after the flop and divides by all their actions after the flop that are not checks: bets, raises, calls and folds.
How it is calculated: AFq = (bets + raises) ÷ (bets + raises + calls + folds) × 100. It differs from aggression factor, which ignores folds. A player who folds often gets a low AFq even if they rarely call.
Worked example: Over a session a player bets or raises 30 times, calls 20 times and folds 50 times after the flop. AFq = 30 ÷ 100 × 100 = 30%. Their aggression factor is 30 ÷ 20 = 1.5.
Why it matters: AFq tells you how often a player takes the lead when they continue. A high figure means they bluff more, so their bets are weaker on average; a low one means their bets lean toward strong hands.
