Part: Part Six - Betting After the Flop

Floating in position

You called a middle-position open on the button with A♦T♣. Flop K♠ 8♦ 3♣ - you have ace-high and position. He c-bets.

You miss but have position and an opponent who c-bets a lot. Best?

WhyFloat. Calling in position with ace-high lets you take the pot away on a later street when he gives up - you keep his bluffs in and your ace-high has some equity. Raising now commits chips with nothing; folding gives up too easily against a frequent c-bettor.
What happensYou call.  Pot: 3,300 (16.5 BB).

Turn 5♥ - a blank, and now he checks, giving up.

He checks the turn, surrendering the initiative. Best?

WhyBet. This is the plan: his turn check signals he's done with the hand, so a bet takes the pot. The float worked - you used position to win a pot you'd have folded out of position.
What happensYou bet 2,000; he folds.  The float collects the pot.
You called the flop with position and air, then bet when he checked the turn - the classic float, using position to win a pot rather than fighting on the flop.

Float in position against frequent c-bettors - call the flop with a plan to take the pot away when they give up later.
