    Default Floats gone wild, the poker edition.

    No stat reads, but I had seen 5 hands on the guy, and 2 of the hands that he had played were extremely bloated pots.

    PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, $0.02 BB (8 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

    UTG ($1.97)
    UTG+1 ($1.27)
    MP1 ($5.28)
    Hero (MP2) ($2.05)
    CO ($2.77)
    Button ($6.79)
    SB ($1.96)
    BB ($0.44)

    Preflop: Hero is MP2 with 5, 6
    3 folds, Hero bets $0.06, 2 folds, SB raises to $0.20, 1 fold, Hero calls $0.14

    Flop: ($0.42) 9, K, 2 (2 players)
    SB bets $0.16, Hero calls $0.16

    Turn: ($0.74) J (2 players)
    SB bets $0.22, Hero raises to $1.69 (All-In)

    Total pot: $1.18 | Rake: $0.05

    Obviously this was a pure bluff float that gained equity on the Turn. My big question is this: The more and more I thought about this hand, I realized that I probably had much less FE than I originally estimated.

    My original plan was to pot-bet if he checked to me on the turn. And fold if he fired again. The spade was a bonus.

    The Dunning–Kruger effect is a cognitive bias in which unskilled individuals suffer from illusory superiority, mistakenly rating their ability much higher than average. This bias is attributed to a metacognitive inability of the unskilled to recognize their mistakes
