Float & Delayed Aggression

Lesson 19 · Call flop, attack when they check turn · 24 practice questions

Float the flop

Floating = calling a c-bet IP with intent to take the pot when villain checks turn. Works vs capped ranges on dry boards.

Delayed c-bet

When villain checks turn after c-betting flop, bet as a bluff (air) or value (improved hands). Seize the initiative.

Know when to give up

Don't float every board — wet boards and strong villains reduce float profitability. Give up river when called.

Key takeaways

• Float IP vs small c-bets on dry boards with backdoors.
• Bet turn when villain checks — delayed aggression.
• Give up when the board is too wet or villain shows strength.

FAQ

What is floating in poker?

Floating is calling a c-bet with a weak or drawing hand, planning to take the pot away on a later street when the aggressor checks or the board changes in your favor.

When does delayed aggression work best?

It works when the preflop aggressor c-bets a wide range then gives up — checking the turn caps their range, and a well-chosen probe or float bet attacks that weakness.
