Do you play using the statistics or do you play by feel?

When it comes to tournaments, I play by feel,
but when it comes to cash games, I always play using statistics that allow me to determine the opponent's range.
But I only use the basic:
VPIP - calling range,
PFR - raise range,
AGG-aggression factor (tells me if i have to increase pot by my self or opponent helps me ;))
Hands - tells me how many hands entered the statistics, i.e. how accurate they are.

I omit the remaining statistics because to be representative you need to have several thousand hands
Your approach to using statistics in cash games makes a lot of sense, especially with the emphasis on fundamental metrics like VPIP, PFR, AGG, and the number of hands. These give you a solid foundation for understanding your opponents' tendencies.

While it's true that more advanced stats require a larger sample size to be reliable, focusing on the basics can still give you a significant edge without overwhelming yourself with too much data. It's a practical way to blend intuitive play with statistical analysis.
