PokerStars: Hold'em No Limit ($0.01/$0.02 USD)
Hero: BTN (100 bb) SB (93.5 bb) BB (55 bb) UTG (102 bb) EP2 (196.5 bb) MP (100 bb) CO (120.5 bb)

Preflop: Hero is BTN with 9♠ K♥
4 folds, Hero raises to 3 bb, fold, BB calls

Flop: (6.5 bb) Q♠ K♦ T♥
BB bets 2 bb, Hero calls

Turn: (10.5 bb) 7♠
BB bets 2 bb, Hero calls

River: (14.5 bb) A♥
BB bets 2 bb, Hero calls

Was this ok, or am I a calling station?

BB was a rather loose player

Villain is betting really small on every street. That makes it tough to fold top pair. it's a little bit tough to see what kind of symbols every card has. I prefer this :spade: :heart: :diamond: :club:. Now they are in the same color.

Hi SamoB25,
Which hand converter created this output.
I quite agree with SDK1987 -- it's hard to read.

With top pair and a gutshot I might raise the flop -- but it is close since the board is quite coordinated.

Calling down against tiny bets with top pair doesn't make you a calling station -- unless you do this too often.

If you have PT4 or HM3 you can use your stats to see if you call down too often.

Cheers,
VS

easy call down.

With Flopped Top pair, your hand is worth at least 2 streets of value.

He bets so small on the Turn and River, so these two bets added togehter are worth about 1 street. by calling down you are effectively putting in 2 regular full bets instead of 3 full bets.
