But how much added FE do you get for the line in chat, while villain tanks OTR to your bet and sees "banana is sliding away"?
Now seriously, WTF? What kind of crap is that ?: "Passive station is pretty good at hero calling" lol. This sentence means only one: it explain your thought process and how you play against fish and shows your fundamental weakness of understanding of poker. I'll try to be clear: if you are not having good idea of what does station holds, how he thinks and what he wants to achieve by clicking buttons the way he does, you are just a weak bumhunter, that hand-reads bad, not thinking through boards and fish's range sharply and doesn't know what fish thinks about your bets.
Simply, if you let lose-passive fish win with NSD line, when all he does is calling calling calling, and doing it super wide then i dunno who is real fish, you or him, because you have studied this game enough and keep making mistakes of not exploiting fish to the max, while the recreational half-drunk dude with zero knowledge about how poker works still manages to lose only that much, that you gain only 1-3ptbb/100. To me it seems, that he's making less mistakes. Now when you say LP station is PRETTY GOOD at hero calling you are just giving out the cheapest excuse of all times and justifying your mediocricity, instead of learning harder and start exploiting fish the way you have to, if it's your job and you feel like you deserve to win alot from them, you have to start thinking about lines/tendencies/frequencies, make sharp thin bets in the right time and no matter how awesome fish runs, eventually it will get busto big time if you do it right.
