Let's say I play again a calling station that allow you to watch any flop because he does not 3bet preflop.
The strategy postflop is clear to me (you cannot bluff so you have to wait for good hands and then bet), but preflop in position I do not know what to do with trash hands.
Do I have to call because more flop I see and more chance I have to hit the board or do I have to fold trash hands because against a callling station you win only if you hit the flop so it is better to wait for decent hands.
I play microstakes hu sng €2.

I remember I had an unprecedented winning streak against stations (BBF) just by instituting a system where I was raising nothing but all ax and kx and a few qx. If I hit, I bet three streets with a river shove no matter how dirty the board got.

I want to tell you that this success continued, and you too can confidently adopt this program. But the DOJ put an end to my days of suicide-shoving a3 on a Ajq10 board against stations.

Use at you r own risk.

Do I have to reduce or increase my range preflop?

Its simple. Never bluff this kind of villians and everytime you make a bet it's for 100% value.

This is a postflop strategy, I asked for a preflop help.

Please PRE-FLOP

Against calling station you should begin by reducing your range preflop
Then when you'll have played enough of them you'll be able to play a wider range but since you suck right now just tighthem up.
