Starting to study strategy - looking for answers :)

Hi guys,

I've been playing poker for probably a year now although started to take it more seriously these past few months. I'm self admittedly a losing player and after convincing myself for weeks that I had the worst downswing and that's why I was losing, I have accepted I am not as good as I think I am. But, I want that to change.

I'm currently trying to study the game, Cash no limit holden to be exact and wanted to create a thread to ask questions I had from what I've been studying, hopefully this thread finds people who can help me with that and help me improve.

My first topic is about playing a depolarised strategy post flop. I have come to understand that my strategy previously has been very much a bet when you have it, check when you don't, polarised strategy, and after studying some great lectures on polarizing my strategy, I have detected it's a large flaw of mine.

So I had a few questions.

1) Does this strategy not work out that villian continues with only their strongest hands and therefore by the time it gets to the river, any middling-weak hands are crushed?

2) Do you have any tips on how to play this strategy when the opponent is a calling station?

3) At what point does this strategy respect the opponents calls and opt for a true betting strategy, is it calling indications based on bet sizing, reraising etc?

4) Any tips for what kind of players this strategy works well on, eg players with certain VPIP, FCB statistic ranges?

These questions as I'm typing them probably come off as either very broad or very beginner aha, but I would love to hear from the community on their thoughts towards polarised ranges.
