Calling station

A passive player who calls too often and rarely raises or folds.

In depth

A calling station is a passive poker player who frequently calls bets but rarely raises or folds. This playing style is characterized by excessive calling rather than selective hand choices, often reaching showdown with weaker-than-optimal ranges. Unlike aggressive players who raise often or tighter opponents who fold more, calling stations maintain a passive approach primarily through persistent calls.
