I just played this hand like an hr ago on BOL 10NL 6-max. It turns out calling stations don't always just call.
I was on a table with Sir Limpsalot, he was three seats to my left, so when I am BTN he's UTG. He loves to limp.
A bit before the hand in question, he limped UTG with 93 suited and I raised him with ATos. I cbet once and he called with a flush draw. It was then checked down with me winning with ace high.
This time he limped again from UTG and I raised him with AJos from BTN. Flop's K23 rainbow. He chk and calls my cbet. Turn's a 6h and there's no flush draws as all suits are diff. He chk calls me again.
I bet again because he had seen me slow down if I missed, so I am trying hard to rep the K.
River's an A. He surprises me by leading out with about a 2/3 pot bet. Really it looks like he hit two pairs with A2 or A3 and didn't want me to check behind with a K. That's what it looked like. If this is a better player I likely would have folded, but having seen how he plays, I felt he doesn't necessarily make moves that make sense. I was on the fence but called.
Dude had T5 suited... floated me OOP with nothing. Turned a gutshot draw and then tried to rep an A to try to push me off my K.
Twas not a bad try because given his previous style, it really did look like he got a great river card and was value betting. So don't assume all calling stations only call and don't bluff.
