My main problem is the when. I don't think anyone is really suggesting that every time you've called a raise, you should bet into the raiser hit or miss OOP and float with position. That's obviously exploitable.
I also don't think the read that raiser is a TAG (or whatever read you want) is sufficient to warrant doing it every single time against this player.
I'd be interested to hear more about when (how often? what boards?... and both of these can be opponent-specific, so also... what read?) to make this play.
Here's what I've typically done up to now on the SCs (which are good hands for this kind of play, I think, and one can also do it on middle PPs that miss maybe) is, when I think my opponent has too much respect for my bets, I'll bet into the raiser when I hit flush draw (1/8) or straight draw (1/8) or any pair (1/3). So, given the read, I guess I'm going with about half of the time. This method also does give me outs against any but extremely strong hands.
I will say this: I've never really warmed up to the float play (not to say I've literally never done it, but it's never really been part of my strategy). So, with position vs. the same villain, I've always actually just raised the same range.Statistics: Posted by Aisthesis — Thu Oct 18, 2007 7:14 am
