On Calling Stations

Hello,

I’ve been into poker for a year or two now. Well, I love playing online. In a reasonable span of time, I was able to familiarize myself about position and odds.

Just recently, I introduced some of my friends to poker and as of now we are planning to be into regular events. But there’s a problem. All of them seriously want to call stations and so I believe my online style won’t be effective.

For an instance in middle position I had ace queen and then for four times the BB I raised. Four callers appeared. Maybe I’ll think of tightening up and wait for premium hands however I know I have to consider first if my premium is strong enough to fight hard in case the field just can’t be narrowed to one opponent. Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Regards,
Vinze
Vinze,

You can also try and play small ball poker where you see a lot of cheap flops with them and when you connect strong with the flop, punish them with extra bets.
