How to beat calling stations?

[sputum]

Just bet when you want them to call. Nothing better than a guy who checks and calls.
As for the hand in question - I like betting the turn for value but would probably make it less, around $4-5. Like river check.

Against true stations I like to play less aggressively in the early rounds. Bloating the pot early often makes them calling less of a mistake, especially against shorties as you are here. I'm still thinking this through but if your preflop raise has a fold equity of near-zero then why not raise less? (I'm always raising this here of course) maybe $1.50? This gives you max IO per player of 14-1 ish plus rather than 8/1 and 10/1 and imo this helps the skilled player more, gets you a free turn card just as often if you decide to take it etc.
