Calling Station · $2/$5 live
The $2/$5 calling station who flats preflop and calls the flop will also call the turn almost every time. Plan your bet sizing around three streets before you even fire the first one.
Why they do it
At $2/$5 the calling station is more sophisticated than at $1/$2 but their core leak is the same - they can't fold a pair. They justify every call with "I might be good." Plan your line knowing they're coming along for the ride.
The adjustment
Size up on all three streets. Don't leave money on the table with small bets against someone who's calling anyway. 70-75% pot on flop and turn, then decide river based on board texture.
What it's worth
Undersizing against calling stations is one of the most common value leaks among winning players. Getting an extra $30 on each street against someone who calls anyway adds up to $90+ per hand you play correctly.
