| How do you handle floaters? I generally play a TAG approach but i steal a lot in cash games. I'm pretty sure my opponents notice so most of the time they just 3bet me and i fold. Of course sometimes they have a monster and sometimes they are just restealing. The thing is it seems like whenever they call just me, they either call me on the flop or raise me. This is when they have position on me. I'm pretty sure a lot of them float me on the flop because i just know there isn't a way they have a hand every single time against me. But if i fire the turn really big, then they usually fold even when i'm bluffing. How do you play against players who love to float you? I am specifically talking about players who do this to you b/c its profitable for them because they know you continuation bet a lot. |

| What are your cbet stats for flop and turn? Also keep on eye on their fold to cbet stats for flop and turn. If flop is low, and turn is high, you should know what to do. Also if their fold to flop is high, and they call, you should probably give up unless you have a piece. |

| If you have air and you simply want to take down the pot on the flop - you can check-raise assuming the floater is aggro and he will usually bet if checked to...The floater will fold his air for sure if you check-raise him. You can also consider doing this with TPTK/overpair.. He will quickly let you know if he can beat top pair by raising back and you just fold... If he calls and a blank hits turn -> shove your TPTK. |

My hand AQ and I am UTG with 100BB I raise 4x and I got called. Everyone else folds Pot: 9.5 blinds Board : QdTd7c I check, and villain bets 7 blinds, I raise to 22 blinds and he calls. Pot: 53.5 blinds and what's left in my stack is 74 blinds Turn card: 4c At this point, I put villain on a Q with worse kicker or some kind of a draw. I prefer to take the relatively big 53.5bb pot right now or get called by a draw or KQ,QJ If I bet something like 30-40BB on the turn, I am pretty much committed to the hand and I can't fold any bad river card, because I will have to pay only about 30-35BB to win a 120BB+ pot. If I bet the full pot size on the turn, I will be left with 20BB which is against stupid and why not put everything when I will be putting more than half of the rest of my stack ?? |

Why is it you can CR AQ here and get value yet CR 65s as a bluff? If he calls wide enough to get value wont that mean he dosent fold enough to bluff? What advantage do you get by CRing him off his air with a hand like TPTK when he would have bet that air on the turn? Would CR the turn more be a better option than CR the flop?
