Strategy Application 

In order to maximise our winrate it is extremely important to be aware regarding the types of opponent we are facing at our table. Poker is often more about understanding our opponent than understanding our cards.

If our opponent is a calling station, we should be looking to make two primary strategic adjustments.

1. Value bet significantly wider than against regular opponents.
