Less than 15 VPIP = Tight
15-20 VPIP = Looser than above but also TAG.
20-25 VPIP = TAG mixed with some loose tendencies
25-35 VPIP = Definitely very loose, plays a ton of pots.

PFR
0-5 = Passive, when they raise they always have the goods.
5-10 = Very tight raising requirements.
10-15 = Open raises a wide range of hands
15-20 = Borderling LAG play
20 + = LAG
hey 5: just wanted to make sure to agree that part of aggression is definitely the PFR. but part of it is also the the committment to be aggressive from any position you get hands in this range. of course variation matters, but only if it supports the bottom line: aggression. for example, by default i open standard raise UTG with all baby pairs. same with any suited 2 gappers and especially when there are deep stacks. not so much w/ the shortstacks. a lot of people just limp these looking to call an LP raise when it comes back around no matter what. i suppose they're hoping to hit a set, but so am i! i can also take down a pot on the flop by Cbetting but called baby pairs can't check OOP and hope to win anything right there. playing these hands so passively all the time is -EV compared to the benefits of running them more aggressively. little areas like these increase my PFR to make it a majority of my VPIP:

VPIP: 23.97
PFR: 16.35
aggro factor (incl. preflop): 2.83

i'm still much closer to TAG than LAG, even though i raise a ton. this is much different from a LAG who would go both 35 VPIP AND PFR ~20. i just don't call much. postflop, i bet as many draws as a LAG, i just don't put myself into the position of doing it nearly as often.
