An example of playing a calling station

[Go_Blue88]

I was hoping to get a better example of this when I was playing, but this is the best one that I got. Both opponents were jackass calling stations, and so I played my AA strongly. I know it's an extreme example, but I just wanted to show how awesome it is to have a calling station in your game. Rather than slow down, I think that it's many times good to keep betting big. Anyways, time to go to a concert...

Playing strongly means underbetting the pot on all streets ? /images/graemlins/confused.gif

Against calling stations with a drawing board ? /images/graemlins/confused.gif /images/graemlins/confused.gif

edit: okay I should add a little something. I lead for 10-12 on the flop, pot turn, value river if you feel you'll lose the station to a pot bet.

river: hero bets 3/5 pot
