Default Re: NL Cash - how to deal with calling stations

I also played one guy like that and I have a theory about how to deal with him. Calling stations call until the river. On the river they usually fold, because they don't make hands when they call double barrell with 34 on K72 flop for example.

So, I decided to raise a lot of pots preflop, even OOP. If I didn't hit the flop, I checked until the river where I made a bet or not. If I hit, then I bet the whole pot on all streets, maybe even overbet all in on the river.

The only problem with this strategy is that these people don't value bet. So I waited until the river to bluff him and he called me with a top pair, which he hit it on the flop. So I stopped bluffing him and it is nothing wrong if you just don't bluff him.

So - raise preflop (with all kind of hands - even suited connectors and other stuff), if you hit, you fire multiple barrells, if not, just check it until the end. The problem with only limping is that you can't make a lot of money. Even calling stations don't call an overbet a lot.

This is just a theory, so please, don't berate me if you feel it is stupid but I feel it should work.

How do you like my theory?
