Call Stations

[CrdShrk6]

I play against a call box in seven stud. It seems like whenever i start out with small two pair or a big pair, i get called down by this opponent and he outdraws me. How do i handle an opponent like this? Also, is it a good idea to bet large early, or save the large bets for later streets?

Berate him till he changes his ways.

fold pf

Move up to higher stakes. The players there play correctly, and will fold when they don't have a strong hand.

I think this is the only good advice out of all of it.

Check raising call stations dont work because the ydont bet much and they certainly will not fold to one. When you are drawing you are not going to bet him out anyway and heads up it is doubtful your draw will be +EV as you are betting big bets into a heads up pot.

I read this yesterday but I thought it was a riot and in light of my post about Mr. Haney, I thought I would thank you for the laugh.

Then how do you expect to make money if all the players are playing correctly? The calling station is your friend.
