I'm one most of the time

You always bet when it's your turn whether you have a made hand, a strong draw, position, and/or the last aggressive action on the previous betting round. The weak-tight nits have no clue wtf you are doing.

It maybe since your opponent may be pissed he can't get free cards.

first time I've heard this term. But yes, betting stations are fun to be sometimes. Fun to check-raise against.

When I take notes that a guy is a betting station, that means that if I check to him, or if it is checked to him and he is last to act, he is going to bet almost always.

Now the second thing to now is if he is a calling station to go along with it, because then you have a checkraisers dream player.

If a player generaly knows what they are doing the lable doesn't fit, however there are plenty of players who just know that hey they are last to act so what 5 people checked in front of them and they have nothing, it's time to bet.

I love them.
