Chum or Foe?

Telling that a calling station is your chum is not enough, it’s an understatement. This kind of poker personality is what the disciplined poker player dreamed of having in the game. They always plays any hand no matter what the outcomes is, and aside from then they are very approachable – a good feature of a poker player which can give you a lot of money.

This kind of poker personality seems allergic to money: its like watching someone who wanted to lose anything they have at the poker table.

Selectivity and Aggression

Calling stations are quietly summarized by their names. They nearly play all hands they are dealt with. They are passive players and will only get aggressive if they have the nuts in hand. But they can check with the nuts if they like their co-players and will do anything not to make a lousy atmosphere.

They are also very positive; they wanted to see potential and never want to see the outcomes of their actions. Most of them only want to play for fun and money is not their main priority and think of it as entertaining way of spending their money.

As long as they are entertained while playing poker, they will assume that they are not wasting their money.

Predictability

This lot is very predictable during the game. They may do some unconventional moves at times but they often do that for the benefit of the other players.

Poker IQ

This personality has a poker IQ of zilch. They know how to play the game and are quiet smart – but they care less in winning. They think that playing good poker is dull and all they wanted is to have fun. Winning is not their main priority.

They just play their cards, see re-raising and betting as one and assume that a gut shot is an excellent draw.

Having a calling station at your table is one perfect affair. But keep in mind, that a number of this kind of poker personality at one table at once is not an ideal set up of a game.

Adjustments

An excellent means to deal with calling station is to make them happy and make certain that the other players make them happy too. So don’t let a Book Worm destroy the calm mood.

Some of them play quiet good, but the thing is that they don’t want to do that – however, if someone challenge them you might be shock on how well they play.

When face with a calling station try not to boast you’re poker abilities and how much you gained from them. Make them happy, and relax a little and you’ll get your rewards in the end.
