"He's not saying the $2/$4 calling station is the player to move on; he's"
"probably allowing for big bet poker (like PL); and he's saying the high stakes player who calls "too much", but ... realizing he is a hard player to move off a hand and becomes a comparatively easy player to bluff. Lee"
Lee,You are giving russ far too much credit. You are describing a situation in which you have no way of knowing whether he was referring to it or not. A player that is deemed a calling station is not consodered that way unless he habitually calls through the river. Someone that plays a lot of hands is not necessarily a calling station as you point out. I do agree that these players that call a lot early on and are winners are among the better poker players.
That said I will also agree that it is a lot easier to move a good poker player off of a hand than a weak calling station. If that is what Russ had in mind I suppose he should have said so. Of course if he did say that how could I make fun of him. Please stop helping him.
