2-9 off is a strong value hand if the board flops 992, then you have a full house. Or if the flop is 999, then you have 4 of a kind, and thats a strong hand.
@@sisusdk live or online? I can only speak for live game. Being card dead for hours is real. If you play a lot of hands and players are good, you find yourself paying them instead of they paying you! If you are a decent player then a short term bad run isn’t a big deal.
you have a point them level 1 players always keep calling till the river with 2 7 offsuit when there is A K Q J on the board and then fold for some reason when they see the last card on the board is not a 2 or a 7 lmao these guys literally help me make about 12$ a day while just playing for 3 hours lmao
heres my issue with calling stations. they call preflop no matter sizing (within reason of course) and then postflop if you bet big with a strong hand (lets face it, usually its gonna be something broadway) they fold because its obvious that youve got a big hand and the broadway flop scares them off. i honestly hate playing at a table of 3+ calling stations because if youre going 4 ways to the flop, your AK isnt looking good. in fact, youre probably losing on the flop no matter how good your starting hand is (barring the absolute top of your range) because at least one or two of them will hit something. its absolutely infuriating to play against when they work almost as a team. outside of coolers the best way to beat them seems to be limping with a much wider range and playing disguised hands.
10 min ago i raised 4bb (should have gone bigger) out of position with kings, mid and late position called, flop came 789, and this one dude had 10 6 off suit. i was mad. obviously lost a chunck of my stack.
@@ramacanda haha thats funny, i just came off a 2-3 day downswing where i basically lost every single hand like youre describing. the good news is its completely unsustainable and it'll swing back in your favour eventually. just keep grinding and playing with the right principles in mind. if you need to raise bigger, do it. im not afraid of making it 5-8 bb now if i see a bunch of stations left to act.
Then adjust, if they're folding on every scary board to big bet sizings, bet slightly smaller, checking usually is no good because they're passive and will only check back
@@liveslowlivesimple I try to make it 25bbs and most of the table still calls (in my regular home game)... then the SPRs tend to already tend to be below 1 and it becomes quite the mess. I must say it's certainly an interesting game...
go all in with big hands then the calling station will not call, if the calling station will call anything and I mean literally anything then raise real high like 1/3 your stack and go all in on the flop.
Calling Stations allways wins MTTs. Just saying. The more hands you play, the more likely you are to win any tournament. Poker is all about luck. All the pots I win is won on a bluff. I still havent had a single winning hand. And I have played for 4 years straight... And what he meens whit bet big, is all in. Here is the math, you have 5000Chips pree flop. You bet 3XBB=500Chips. Post flop, you bet 500 again, you get raised to a 1000, and you re raise to 1500. 2 cards left, but you are run out of chips. All ways go all in pre flop. Poker is all about luck.
Calling stations will bluff because they get themselves in a hand that they should of never been in.
HEAVY BETS!!!
Actually the difficult part is to have a “value hand”
2-9 off is a strong value hand if the board flops 992, then you have a full house. Or if the flop is 999, then you have 4 of a kind, and thats a strong hand.
@@sisusdk - lol yes. In rare situations. Otherwise you get mid pair, bottom two, top pair on wet board, straight on flush heavy board.
@@MugenTJ I havent won a single hand in 3 days, and that must be a sign from God, that my time as a poker player is done.

@@sisusdk we must have the same religion 😀
ITS EXACTLY WHAT I DO. SET MY NUMBERS. PLAY TIGHT. RISK REWARD. LEAVE WHILE AHEAD. COME BACK AGAIN.
THIS MAN IS 💯 CORRECT!!!
Against 8 players all calling, the winning hand almost always sucks out

YOUR CHIPS ARE YOUR WEAPON!!!
PUNISH THE LIMPERS!
sounds like 2/4 - 4/8 limit hold'em

Hell of a grind, i play 2 grenades
And two calling station
Wrong. Building the pot with big draws is profitable
depends on stack sizes, i would think.
