Alright, so villain is a bit of a calling station. he calls short CBET 100% of the time, but he folds high $ amount CBET usually, from what I've seen in less than 100 hands.

Usually he is behind alot when he is in a hand on the river. I'll let you know the result.

lol

Calling station shoves all-in first response is ****YIKES**** &!(!&!(&!

Against a calling station which they generally fall into the more passive side of things, WE DO THE BETTING.

Not them... we make money by them calling, we don't try and let them bet into us.

I also think we don't have enough history with villain to suggest that the size of the cbet makes too much a difference at this stage. Probably just whiffed.

Soon as we lower prices on these boards especially with flush draws/straight draws we are asking for danger. So if we are enticing calls and price people in, we better be ready to let go when the draws come in.

Flush got there but opponent didn't bet, he wants us to bet and he call behind... this is standard for a calling station even if he does hit the flush... They get scared easily and never too confident with their hand... so they call and avoid biggish pots... feels like trapping but usually its because they are worried.


River comes a T.... So now opponent didn't have the flush, he def has T in his range and now fullhouses.

When a villain shoves all-in (calling station) hes'making up for lost value.

You played the hand weird... and you'll find you'll keep creating these awkward spots purely because how passive you played it.

Although if this works for you overall go ahead because this is actually a great way of making complexed lines... Which means opponents/weaker players even regs will make a ton of mistakes. They will get confused.

I can't see how we beat them and i'd fold the river. But villains shove is weird though as well and whenever something doesn't make sense then its a bluff? We do have a bluffcatcher.


So yeah I'm folding. but if I'm tilting I'm calling lol.

Alright, I guess you are right.

I called he had AQ and I took it down. I'll class this one on the luck side of it.

I hope you weren't being smart, because i'll point that your opponent isn't a calling station. We only can work with what correct information you give.


Best of luck.

The calling stations i know dont bet or shove into you.. calling stations check also with the nuts at times and can rrap people not paying attention.

If they do bet or shove its the absolute nuts thats all.

I'd still be betting Both the turn and river for value, we are miles ahead of his range. This is especially if you have him pegged as a station who might be calling you down with 2nd pair let alone a weaker ace.
If he raises after you have been betting into him then you can safely fold. You created your own problems here by checking the turn.

Yeah I agree Figaroo2. light ace made so much sense here, I should've kept going on the turn, wanted to keep the pot down. On the flop my read was a weaker ace.

Well Ace, not all calling stations are the same. Some are a bit mroe tricky than others.
