If I want to play exploitatively postflop versus a Calling Station or a Floater I need to play very differently OTT, although they both calls much vs. C-bets OTF(> 60%)
The former has a low FTCBturn and can consequently not be bluffed OTT, but my value bets get paid. With the latter the reverse applies. But: At the micros where I play I seldom have enough hands on a player to have any / any reliable statistics regarding FTCBturn so I have a hard time to categorize the player correctly before it’s too late.

So finally to my Question: Given that I has about 60 hands on a player; Is there a shortcut/any faster accumulated statistics or anything else that gives away or at least indicates that Villain is a Calling Station or a Floater?

Hi,

Calling station can also be floater, but usually they are more passive and would just happy to check down their hands as floaters would more often bet turn if you check to them. If you´re not sure how aggressive is player then best way to find out is imo taking passive line and c/c turn with showdown value hands. Calling stations might bet turn half bet and then always check back river, floater would often fire turn and river.

best regards,
