1. Calling station

If you’re not sure what you’re doing in a game, the easiest thing to do is follow someone else’s lead. That’s why in poker you’ll find a lot of novice/weak players calling every bet regardless of their starting hand. It can be horrific watching an opponent calling every bet nonchalantly before timidly turning over a Jack-high, to your palpable relief, at the end. But it’s even worse when they call all the way and reveal Aces at the showdown – a hand you could never put them on in a million years because they didn’t bet or raise at any stage.
