What are VPIP and PFR? How to read your WPT Global stats

VPIP is how often you voluntarily put money in the pot preflop, and PFR is how often you raise preflop. Read together, they show whether you play loose or tight, aggressive or passive. You can find both, along with other common stats, under My stats on your WPT Global profile.

Where to find it

From the lobby, go to your profile (Profile) and tap My stats. At the top you can switch:

• Game type: NLHE, Short Deck, Splash, PLO, MTT and others are tracked separately. The tabs you see depend on what you’ve played and which games are currently offered.
• Period: 7days (last 7 days), 30days (last 30 days), Life (all time)

The stats shown on each tab may change slightly between versions.

Basic stats

In the app	Meaning
Total hands	Hands played in this period
Total Session Counts	Number of sessions
Win rate	Win rate
Avg Buy-In	Average buy-in
BB/100	Big blinds won per 100 hands. The most common profit measure for cash games; positive means you’re winning

Advanced stats

The first six definitions are summarized from the in-app descriptions. The app doesn’t explain the rest, so those use the standard poker stat definitions.

In the app	Full name	Meaning
VPIP	Voluntarily Put In Pot	How often you voluntarily put money in preflop (call, bet or raise). Forced bets like the big blind, small blind, ante and straddle don’t count
PFR	Pre-Flop Raise	How often you raise preflop. Ranges from 0% up to your VPIP; if your VPIP is 20%, your PFR can’t be above 20%
Saw Flop	—	How often you see the flop, however you got there
3 BET	3-Bet	How often you re-raise after someone else has raised preflop
C-BET	Continuation Bet	When you were the last preflop raiser, how often you bet the flop, whether or not you hit
AF	Aggression Factor	Postflop aggression: your bets and raises compared with your checks and calls. The higher the number, the more aggressive you play
WTSD	Went To Showdown	After seeing the flop, how often you go all the way to showdown
WSD	Won at Showdown	How often you win when you go to showdown
WSF	Won when Saw Flop	After seeing the flop, how often you end up winning the pot

How to use these numbers

VPIP and PFR are most useful side by side. For example:

• VPIP 25%, PFR 20%: you don’t enter many pots, and when you do, you’re usually raising. An aggressive style.
• VPIP 45%, PFR 8%: lots of calling, very little raising. A classic “calling station.”
• VPIP 12%, PFR 10%: very tight, playing only strong hands.

A high C-Bet with a low WTSD usually means you’re good at taking pots down with postflop bets but give up easily when you meet resistance. A low WSD may mean the hands you take to showdown aren’t strong enough.

Stats only become meaningful over a decent number of hands. A sample of a few hundred hands swings a lot, so don’t rush to change your game based on a single day’s numbers.

No HUDs allowed

Many players ask whether they can see opponents’ VPIP right at the table, as on some other sites. WPT Global doesn’t allow HUDs or other third-party tracking software, and My stats only shows your own numbers. To keep track of opponents’ tendencies, you’ll need to take your own notes.

FAQ

What does VPIP mean?

VPIP (Voluntarily Put In Pot) is the percentage of hands where you voluntarily put money in the pot preflop, meaning you called, bet or raised. Forced bets such as the big blind, small blind, ante and straddle don't count.

What does PFR mean?

PFR (Pre-Flop Raise) is the percentage of hands where you raise preflop. It ranges from 0% up to your VPIP, because raising is itself a way of voluntarily entering the pot.

What's a normal VPIP?

There's no single right answer; it depends on table size and playing style. As a rough guide, at a 6-max cash table a VPIP of 20% to 30% with a PFR not far below it is a fairly solid style. A high VPIP with a low PFR means you call a lot but rarely raise.

Can I see my opponents' stats on WPT Global?

WPT Global doesn't allow third-party software such as HUDs. My stats shows only your own numbers. To keep track of opponents, use the platform's built-in tags and notes.
