Float (Floating)

Floating is calling a bet — usually a flop continuation bet — with a hand that is not strong now, intending to bluff a later street when the aggressor gives up. You are using position and the fact that the bettor often cannot keep barreling.

Floating works best in position against players who c-bet too much and then check-fold the turn. It backfires against stations who never fold, so pick your targets: float the honest one-and-done c-bettor, not the player who fires three streets.
