Quiz of the Week: Playing the Calling Station in Position (NL)

This week we brought our Big Stack Strategy players a new test of wits. With having mastered the basics of BSS, are you eager to improve your winning rate against loose-passive players?

Isolating these players and putting them under pressure preflop is a key element in successfully playing against calling stations.

This is why our latest weekly quiz focused on preflop play and the decisions you have to make there. Decide which spots are suitable for heads-up or multiway play and judge the strength of your hand based on your opponents' play.
