Default Re: 3 standard floats?

What's the difference between a float and a cold-call?

Hand 1: Looks like he's got a pair of 9s, Ts, or Js and that if he called on the turn when a queen hit he's calling on the river when a deuce hits.

Hand 2: Will the 2+2er fold a pair of 8s of 9s here?

Hand 3: My experience has been that when a guy calls for a card, about half the time he wants it and half the time he doesn't. I suppose he could have J-T here, but the sb's disgruntled look could be J-T too.

I don't like any of these "floats" for the reason that I love it when somebody cold-calls my raise with 9- or 8-high. I think you underestimate the importance of starting with the best two cards in limit hold'em.
