Default Re: OOP Against a LAG, checkraise semibluff?

[ QUOTE ]
Planning to float a lag oop with K9s isn't a good idea.

Assuming I won't go broke with a 2nd best one pair hand, why not? A float is a bluff that exploits a lag's tendancy to bet weak hands. If I know my opponent well enough to know that he will fold if I re-raise him unless he has the top of his very wide range, isn't this exactly who you should be floating?

I'm not floating because I like my hand. I'm floating because I know that the opponent usually doesn't like his. The fact that I chose to do it with K8s just gives me an escape hatch in case I chose a time when he actually had something.
