Having the worst hand also becomes cheaper since villain will usually value bet the turn with a strong hand (7-x, J-J+). Floating overcards is not as good as raising, since you have almost no showdown value with say a bare ace, but raising isn't terrible since you will get a fold a good % of the time and you aren't WB villain's calling range.
Ok I see what you mean, and I can agree with that. One question though is what other hands do you call and bet the turn with, and what other hands do you raise the flop with? You just need to make sure you aren't only floating with small pairs and not only raising with strong made hands or hands with 6+ outs.
