Definition of Floating
There has been a fair amount of misunderstanding on the boards lately regarding the definition of a float. Is it a cold call preflop to disguise a premium hand? Is it a situational cold call preflop with a borderline holding? Some of the discussion leads me to believe that it is just a word we made up to rationalize questionable cold calling and angle shooting.
I imagine itīs actually a legitimate concept, so I thought itīd be good if we actually all agreed on what the word means. Opinions? Yeah I just saw Darynīs post. His is funny, yadda yadda yadda, Iīm still curious. |

Re: Definition of Floating
just a word we made up to rationalize questionable cold calling and otherwise fishy preflop behavior.
If you did a scientific test on Party Poker, I bet you would see a marked increase in cold calling that would coincide exactly with the arrival of this word. |

Re: Definition of Floating
I know all this talk of floating has me wanting to call 2 cold with a much wider range of hands.
Lets come up with a term for 3betting with 72o, and see if we can get that into vogue too? -Scott |

Re: Definition of Floating
It's cold calling by someone who knows better. A donk cold calls, someone who knows he/she shouldn't cold calls floats.

Re: Definition of Floating
Floating is a specific type of Cold Calling. It's Cold Calling in position (Button or CO), against fewer (say 1 or 2) players who tend to play weakly postflop and therefore you are much more likely to make a play at the pot if the situation arises.
Also, donk betting is a weak lead if a good player does it. Good players don't donk bet. -The Brickster |
