Default Bluffing calling station.

I keep making good bluffs against calling stations. He has top pair weak kicker with soooo many things that beat him but I constantly bluff at a calling station. then say, "you expect me to lay down top pair. I guess the flush possibilities and board pairings never scare these people.

A complaint. Which I guess technically qualifies as a beat. NH sir.

Bluff calling station = -EV

Top pair? HEll, they don't lay down bottom pair or A high with 4 to a flush and straight and paired board. What makes you think they would EVER fold TP?

And FWIW, I usually won't fold TP HU in a SH game.

AND to grimstar's point, probably wrong forum.

It was a full table and yes this is just a needing to vent about it.

In other words it is against things like, K-J to a board like 5-6-2, or A-3 to a board of 3-7-J. So over cards or bottom pair. Or hit a 3rd heart or board pair on turn and they only have top pair weak kicker as just happened to me which made me make this post. dude had 9-5 board was 9c-7c-3d turn was 7h so I moved in. he called.
