AK whiffs vs a calling station. He bets the turn.

[Wolfram]

Villain is a station. He's 44/4/2.67, although only after 25 hands (AF is probably screwed up with such a small sample).

Floated. Not much you can do here but to not cbet calling stations as much. Take a note, and if he continues hsi calling station behavior, only bet him for value town.

Nice Hand

[Piece of Cake]

Since this is versus a call station if we make a bet on the flop it's a bet for value not a cbet, correct?

I think 25 hands is too small to label him a call station and definitely not enough postflop experience which is where I would really base a label like that.

As is (with only 25 hands) I play it the same way and assume I have some FE with a cbet.

If this is a true 44/4 though over a larger sample, I'm going to be a bit concerned by his minraise UTG. And if I really think he's a call station I don't fire a cbet - I take my free cards until I hit or until I showdown and lose a small pot or until he bets his better hand.

[guess who]

I would play it the same.
He has a low PFR% so his raise indicated strength. Therefore no second barrell.
