I'm a little rusty and this is my first night back playing. I probably screwed this hand up in all kinds of ways. Villain has been c-betting a lot and is fairly aggressive.

I fold pf, don't see a float, and bet the flop. Its just getting uglier on every street as you have no easy decisions.

Preflop is ok, though I like mine sooted.
The float is fine, you have pair + bluff outs.
Turn looks good.

I have no idea what happened on the river.
Maybe you got river'd? KK?
Nutflush'd?
He certainly doesnt look to worried about those three clubs.
But his line doesnt really make sense to me.
Wouldnt a flush raise the turn, like, always?

I cry, call, prepare to puke.

Yeah, ok, I know it's not a textbook float.
Hero could be ahead, he could be behind.
IF he is behind, he has some bluff outs.
Maybe we could call it a semi float?

Edit:
Did you read the thread?

"What is Floating?
Generally speaking, floating is calling a bet in position on an earlier round of betting, typically the flop, with the intention of betting later should the conditions become available. Usually the goal of the float is to get a marginally better hand to fold or to extract value with a marginal hand."

I dont agree with this definition, but that's what it says...

Yes.

This hand looks like a passive check call with TP crap kicker on a two flush flop. To call it a float or some other float related term is way off and elevates a bad all around hand to some sort of a move.

This hand is why you fold this PF OOP to an unknown raiser.

I post bad today.
Time to get some sleep I think.

OP,

Sorry to confuse you.
Fold preflop, as you are oop with a crap hand.
Now that you HAVE called, I dont mind the stop'n'go.
