Floating

[Shortcorner]

I've seen "floating" used as a definition quite a bit in this forum. Would somebody mind outlining a brief definition.

Best Regards

call preflop in position, then call flop bet in position, then bet turn when checked to.

Thanks Dan,

Is this a complicated steal move or done with big PP/hand?

[Kilillan]

It's more just calling the flop with the intention to bluff any turn

and it's a bluff

[DanJ.]

more of a steal move against Tags who like to cbet then give up.

just to pick off c/bs. learning when to fire 2nd barrel and sometimes 3rd barrel to combat folding is an art.

This definition is decent, although it misses a few other 'floats'. For instance if villain bets on the flop, weak turn bet and you raise with air (or gutshots and the like). Or the NOT recommended OOP float.

They all work on the principle of calling in a earlier to street to bluff at the pot on a later street.
