CO is an idiot, calls every preflop raise, calls down with 2nd and 3rd pair and minbets\minraises when he really hits big.

preflop: I raised very big (maybe too big) because I think I always have the best hand here , and want to go all in if I hit the flop.

flop: I go for a check raise, I he bets big he usually has second pair or something that he might not fold but I'm a favorite against.

Flaws in my play? all coments welcome

i like the hand, not always i would play in that mode, but i think with thise type of villain this can be good. The safiest way, and i think the better one, is to call only and see if we hit the flop, blinds are so lower and still far away from the bubble

You are bluffing a calling station? Bad move imo :)

Just make a small reraise preflop to single out the donk, something like 200 chips should work like a charm. Against this type of player I only go broke (and only bet) when I've hit. You can c-bet this flop, although I think check/calling is also good here. I prefer leading out the flop here though, because I want ALL of his chips with flush or straight :tongue:

Edit: I have to clarify: I bet/call this flop.

Just make it standard 250 in this spot... No need to value overbet AQs preflop when you've no idea what the flop is gonna bring you... I simply like taking cheap flops against these guys and allow them to pay me once I've got a made hand...

On the flop I kinda disagree with viewer here... Our draw is simply to strong to chase it... I want to go broke on it...

check/raising after you were the original raiser preflop is obv. not a standard line... But against overly aggressive players this is the line I sometimes take with monster draws and middle pocket pairs and stuff in these situations... Since it simply gives us value out of so many random hands.... but your read is he ain't a aggressive retard but he's a calling machine... So I don't really see the point in your check/raise... If he is a calling machine you should simply put out a small bet here and see how he reacts... And than reevaluate if he puts out one of his famous minraises or whatever... but as I stated before I would simply go broke on this draw since I feel it's so strong... but this could be a leak in my game :)

Edit: damn I was so happy with my calling station analyze and now I see viewer had already wrote about the calling station part :P


i think the preflop raise is way too large, 250 would do it.
out of position i like to raise 4BB+1 per limper.

against a typical calling station check/raise the flop is not that brave.
i would just bet/call this monster draw.
if he is a calling station i want to get the money in when im a favourite, and with only one card to come on the tun i would not be a favourite anymore.

so get the money in on the flop.
i dont think he will lbuff to often in this flop, so checking might cause a check behind.

and if you win the pot on the flop with your conti bet its ok. dont worry right now you got nothing, so winning the pot isnt bad :)

Hi all,

Against a calling station a bet on the flop is way better partially for the reasons grumeller said and also because if our opponent bets it will usually be with a pair, and if he's a callstation he's not folding this. So just bet, keep the initiative, and get as much money in while you're ahead (on the flop) as possible).

Also, this isn't a bluff:

thanks guys for the answers, I can't remember the actual AF of villian but he was a gambler acording to tournament indicator all I remember is that he was an idiot :)

btw: chenny is right about his bet/calling range, had the J , AJ to be exactly (which btw was way stronger than the range I gave him preflop) and lost the 55/45 ;)
