well i finally purchased HEM and have watched RFB's video on it.
my ? is: what %'s are hi and what are low?
this is how i have mine set up:
vpip/pfr/3bet
agg/flop c-bet/fold to flop c-bet
i color coded just like RFB, red being a hi % and green being low %.
example: VPIP- <20% = green and 21%<= red
tell me % for all and if you think i should add anything

I have my VPIP on red less than 12% to signify a tight player, almost the same with PFR that way if he raises pre and I see two red stats I better expect he has something good. Stick with colors that you can relate to, for me red means bad, yellow means cautious and green means donk(or go get this yahoo). The stats you mentioned are good first setup, I do not like my HUD overwhelming while I play so I think I only have those six as well, but I do like expanding the HUD for decisions because of all the stats available.
"Your either in Sheen's Korner or your with the trolls."
If you are new with it, I wouldn't overwhelm yourself too much with adding too many categories and stick with the basics until you get a good feel for looking at the numbers. Some of the basics you mentioned I have color coded are:
VPIP Red<20% yellow<28 green<inf
PFR green<5.5 yellow<9.5 red<14.6 maroon<21.01 pink<inf
Agg maroon<.76 red<1.7 yellow<2.26 green<3 pink<inf
Cbet green<35 pink<65 red<71 maroon<inf
Color coding the ranges are tough to figure out without an expert pointing it out to you because it is very difficult to find this information out there. Majority of people don't want to share this info or educate people on it. I have spent countless hours researching this and coming up with my own schemes, but I am not saying my method is right or the best for everyone. Here is a few links you can check out to educate yourself:
The last one link is for cash game players, but some of the principles in there would still apply to MTT. There is othe info out there, but it is very difficult to find anything discussed in regards to MTT play and cash.
My color coding is backwards in some categories also i.e. green where it might be red for others or vice versa.
If you are new to it, stick to the basics and don't get too caught up in all the other categories for a while. Just throwing gas on the fire for learning prob. As time moved on I added:
Fold to flop CB
Check Raise
Limp fold
3Bet
Fold to 3bet
Steal
Fold vs Steal
Big Blinds (might want to go ahead and add this anyway…if you are an “M” guy, you could add that or/also)
It was a lot easier for me to add these categories because I customed designed my layout so it's not in that typical “Box/Block” that HEM uses for default. It's tricky to figure out at first, but you can customize it by using the “New Panel” option and moving the panels around the name. I will see if I can get a screen shot when I am playing later so you can see what I mean.
When learning it though there is an old saying, “Keep it simple stupid!” I never adhere to that though 😉
