[QUOTE="Cheetah, post: 654946, member: 28209"]
belladonna05, try to automatically consider calling as the last option. It often is the least attractive.
 
If first to act, the first choice to consider should be bet, then fold, and then open-limp(or check).
 
If there is a bet already, calling is the strongest actions of all and should be done only with very strong hands or when the odds are correct.
 
If you are callilng too much, you are probably not getting the right odds. 
 
I am ecnlosing a small odds chart you can post on your monitor. I created it when I first started playing poker and it is still on my monitor.:) You can always consult it and make sure you are not making bad calls.
 
The Odds 1 column are the pot odds with one card to come. Say on the flop, the odds to hit your draw on the turn.
 
The Odds 2 column are the pot odds with two cards to come. Should be considered only if you or your opponent is all-in.
 
In NL you can of course call with smaller pot odds due to implied odds. Nevertheless, this table is the foundation. Don't call if you are too far. Hopefully this will help you to stay off your calling station mode as you will know that you cannot defeat the mathematics of expected value.:) 
 
Good luck.
