The $2/$5 calling station is more dangerous than the $1/$2 version because he has more chips to call with and more experience rationalizing those calls. Don't get fancy. Just value bet.

Why they do it

$2/$5 calling stations have been playing long enough to talk themselves into calls on every street. They have a reason for every call and they're comfortable making them. Bluffing them is nearly impossible. Thin value betting them is where the money is.

The adjustment

Three streets of value with top pair good kicker. Don't slow down, don't get scared, don't check back because the board got weird. He's not raising you. He's calling.

What it's worth

One extra value street against a $2/$5 calling station you would have checked back is $60-80 in found money per occurrence. Do it consistently and it adds up to a real edge over a session.
