You can lead a donkey to a free card but you can't make him drink it.

Consider the referenced thread, where Hero is heads-up out-of-position with AQ overcards on the turn after raising preflop and betting the flop. There is no reason to bet the turn if Villain is a player who makes a lot of loose flop calls and then bets behind whenever you check. You check, he autobets, you call. Next card please dealer. It's just like betting your hand except you never get raised.

The river may still be a problem but it isn't as if betting the turn would have helped with that.

In a thread some months back someone called this type of player a sponge. He soaks up TAG bets and then spits them back. Sponges are better robots than calling stations but they are still robots.

The real problem occurs when Villain actually plays well enough to mix up his play when you check the turn. Then you need to face a basic truth. No one plays well enough to make money from a good postflop player who has position. That's why you need to play tight in EP and maximize the button while you have it.
