Float
Opponent is tight TAG preflop, but weak-tight postflop. I've never done this before, but I think you can call this a float since my specific plan was to call the flop and raise the turn.

If it's good, how often should I be doing this?

Re: Float
i fold preflop, if this guy is tight-tight, he probly has a premimum hand and it doesent look like your getting the multiway action you need for this hand, as far as the turn play, what are you representing, a set?

Re: Float
I think you can do this once in a while, if you have a TAG image and float a thinking player. You have to be absolutely sure that on a board like this MP1 will fold a substantial portion of his range to your raise.
I usually associate floating more with live play, where reads are better and opponents seem more willing to lay down hands. I'm not sure it's as effective online. I've never seen a solid definition so maybe it has a better meaning. If your specific plan is to play aggressively with a made hand and on a bluff-friendly board....ok. If you want to call-raise ANY board, that's not so good.

Re: Float
understandable, but the only thing i can put you on on this turn is 77, you dont have a straight,plus you have no outs if this play dosent work(maybe jacks and tens), i like to have a scarier board to do this, and some weak tighties have been known to call down with AK
in general this play costs a lot of bets to make, if the guy is super weak tight go for it, but otherwise i dont think it works often enough to show a profit whats the plan for the river if he calls? do you auto fold to a 3bet?

Re: Float
I think this guy thinks more about how made his hand is than what my range is. I thought this was a pretty good flop to have missed his range of hands.
If he calls the turn he's calling the river so I'm not betting again. Against this guy it's an easy fold to his 3-bet.
