Another word about "floating", make sure you know your opponent. There are some who will sense weakness and always fire a second barrel. Of course, you still want to play with position on these opponents because then you can call the flops you hit and let them build the pot for you.

I tend to float my weaker draws (like an inside straight to the nuts) because then I have two ways of winning- I can bet into the turn if he checks, or I can catch a miracle card and stack my opponent when he really has a hand. Of course, in the rare instace that the latter happens you often get some choice words for drawing to four outs!
