Isolating a Calling Station (1) - Preflop

by MiiWiin

Finding profitable tables is the main goal of every poker player. Profitable means that you have a clear advantage against at least one opponent at the table, since your game is better than his.

When it comes to pursuing this goal, a number of different player types can be of interest. This article will focus on the calling station. It is your main target in the fish pond.

However, there are some things you need to consider when you are up against an opponent that doesn't seem to be willing to fold anything that could somehow be a made hand. Of course this has a number of advantages, but it can also pose some problems since you will not be able to create much fold equity.
