Float

Calling a bet with a weak hand intending to take the pot away on a later street.

In depth

**Float** is a strategic play in poker where a player calls a bet with a weak hand, planning to bluff and take the pot on a subsequent street. This move exploits opponents who continuation-bet but may fold to later aggression, relying on position and timing rather than hand strength to win.
