*Sorry I had to post this in the NL5/10 section

Since there is no rant forum and 1 hand doesn't really count as a downswing, here I go..

PT3 stats for this guy over around 150 hands were, VPIP 58, PR 13, Aggr Freq 57.

A real callstation with luck this guy.

Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$0.1/$0.25 No-Limit Hold'em (9 handed)

Known players:
[tg]SB(Hero)$30.40:///////;BB$42.60:///////;UTG1$21.95:///////;UTG2$25.00:///////;MP1$20.00:///////;MP2$25.25:///////;MP3$18.15:///////;CO$25.00:///////;BU$6.30:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is SB with A:s, K:d.
2 folds, MP1 calls $0.25, 4 folds, Hero raises to $1.00, BB folds, MP1 calls $0.75.

Flop: ($2.25) 6:d, K:c, 2:c (2 players)
Hero bets $1.75, MP1 calls $1.75.

Turn: ($5.75) Q:h (2 players)
Hero bets $3.00, MP1 calls $3.00.

River: ($11.75) A:c (2 players)
Hero checks, MP1 bets $1.00, Hero raises to $6.00, MP1 calls $5.00.

Final Pot: $23.75.

Results follow:

Hero shows two pairs, aces and kings(As Kd).
MP1 shows a flush, ace high(5c 6c).

MP1 wins with a flush, ace high(5c 6c).

I thought I played this hand beautifully until I saw what he had, felt like chucking a brick at the wall.

He then later went to double up again with 88 vs AK, flop 8KK. It's his lucky day.

Since he is a calling station, just bet near pot on every street with TPTK. Especially on turn, where there is now a SD + FD. Just check/call river since straight got there and flushes got there.


There was a guy like this on one of the tables I was playing last night.

Total idiot, but wins big pots with the most unimaginable trash.

I agree for flop and turn, but strongly disagree on the river.

You're up against a player who's loose passive, he could have gotten there with an A, a Q, a K, most of those he probably can't find a fold with but he won't bet them. He will however bet flushes and maybe straight, so when you check/call you're just losing value from worse hands while making sure he can valuetown you with his flushes/straights. Then is nothing that missed for him to bet.

If you're gonna check then fold to a decent bet (as played obviously call that small bet), but i'd probably just bet/fold it for like half pot since i never expect that guy to shove over with anything i can beat.

Hope it helps.
