What is "Floating" anyway? My computer doesn't have a sound card and I couldn't find a transcript of that video :smile

Basically it's staying in a hand you think you might be best in(or that you have good cards in) even though you don't have a made hand. It works well against players who seem to always make continuation bets when they have no part of the flop, or also players who seem to always bet the flop no matter what cards they have. You stay in the hand by calling their continuation bet and seeing what he will do next street. Many times they will check the turn and you make your raise of about half the pot and take it down there. Knowing your opponents is key here with Floating. You don't want to use this strategy with a calling station type.
