Surely not a calling station???
Played two very odd hands against two very familier cash players this afternoon.
5 players sat £3/6 with $1ante, (home game). Buy in £250 min £1000 max.
I was the only one who bought in for less than the max, i started with £600.
I know the players very well.
Played for around three hours and last nights form continued. Managed to come back to even then.
UTG limps as does +1 button folds, SB makes up the blind I check with Q8o
Flop comes AK6r, checks round. Turn comes 7, checks round. River comes 6. No flush draw out.
I check, UTG checks, UTG +1 bets £22 into £32. SM folds, UTG limper folds out of turn, just leaving it to me with no action behind. I cant put him on an A, K, 6 or PP. He may be betting a 7 at best. I decide to call with Q high, he announces J high and mucks. Felt like he'd bet a 10J, 10Q type hand there, given that I know he wont check back again for the third time there.
Few hands later I make it £25 to go with a couple of limpers with AKs.on the button. Board comes very dry
267Q2. No made flush. Opponent bets turn after I check back flop, I elect to call. Turn is checked.He asks me how much I have on the river, then bets BIG. I've seen this guy do this a lot and just decide if he hit the Q fair play, if not I'm going to call and make him show his hand, but seriously contemplated raising him for a very long time.
He forces his hand into the muck, gets up has a good rant about me being a calling station!! lol
Given the knowledge of these players I think they are exceptionally good calls, are they really that bad??
I did have a secondary reason to call though, i knew catching them would put a little steam into them + it would really help me get a sense of their paricular mood in that session.
