Playing Draws OOP vs. PFR

that would normally be my line, chard, but against nits who might check back a lot I think leading is good.

peel means call although it has different connotations than "call" or "float" or "flat."

don't want to really derail but wanted to clarify this. probably no one else cares but I'm interested in poker language usage.

Call is obviously well-known and the most universal, comprehensive term. But in common usage we break down calls various ways:

1. To "peel" is to call a bet on the flop from a preflop raiser, generally when we have medium-strength, SD value hand and aren't sure the PFR has a hand yet. I.e., "UTG raises, we call on button with 88, flop is 972r, he bets, we peel one."

2. "Float" - We are facing a bet from PFR or a donk in position. We can either have a draw or air or marginal SDV but floating implies we intend to take it away from them on a later street. "Loose CO opens, I call on BTN with JTs. Flop is 972r, he bets. He has a high c-bet frequency but low double-barrel frequency, so I float with my gutshot and overs."

3. "Flat" generally refers to preflop action when we are facing a raise and it's a spot where we could very well 3-bet but instead, we flat. "Nit opens UTG, I flat JJ in MP."
