What's With This DERB?

This is an excellent point. DERB has mastered the art of floating. I have been in many of games where the DERB type floater picks up pot after pot because everybody keeps missing. For example, when I whiff with QJs I basically just give this guy the pot because I know I won't be able to push him out. Floaters have always been a thorn in my side, I haven't played against DERB but I think I would have a hard time against him if he is "floating".

I'm really glad you posted this because I had never really thought about that metagame aspect before. If I ever decide to try a floating strategy calling down light will be a key.

Actually, I don't really consider DERB a floater. Floaters don't open raise 8Ts in early position and then 3 bet the AJ8 flop.
