A well-timed float play lets you capitalize on opponent weaknesses, often turning marginal situations into wins.

What Is a Float Play?

A float is calling a bet post-flop with the intention to bluff on later streets if your opponent shows weakness.

Ideal Board Textures

Boards that favor your range or threaten your opponent’s range are prime spots to float.

Reading Opponent Tendencies

You need to assess if your opponent is likely to fold future streets or bet again to decide if floating is profitable.
