In poker, Nothing much feels better than when you bet/raise with nothing and then catching a miracle 2-outer or runner-runner hand, before destacking your opponent.



When that happens, who is the culprit? Do you sympathize the floatee?

Here are some of my successful floating attempts. In turn I don't get floated much, because I usually reraise or fold to a flop raise:

Check-raise to see whether opponent was c-betting with missed high cards. I got called and then I turned my 2.

Old hand. Semibluffing with 7 flimsy outs, and then caught runner-runner trips.

I try to picked up the raised pot on the flop after everybody checked. I was called by trips. Poker God had other plans.

I was trying to represent AK and make my opponent release what could be A-medium kicker. He had 2-pairs instead and fully paid me off when I rivered my 9.
