Strategy
Float
Floating is calling a bet (usually in position) with a relatively weak hand, not because you expect to have the best hand, but because you plan to take the pot away on a later street if your opponent shows weakness. It exploits players who c-bet too frequently but give up on later streets. Floating is most effective against predictable opponents and in position.
Example
You call a flop c-bet with overcards on a low board, planning to bet the turn if your opponent checks.
