Is there an official name for the following play:
You call a raise preflop; you check the flop out of position and it's checked back by the preflop raiser; then on the turn you lead out w/ a bet.
I believe a "stab" requires that you're in position. And it's not a donk because that would require that you call a cbet on the flop. I suppose it's sort of a delayed donk. I dunno. Does this play have a name? I see it (and use it) all the time. Just curious.
oop float maybe?
Yeah but don't you need to call (float) a bet first on the flop before you get aggro on the turn? It's a similar idea I suppose, but the move I'm referring to has more to do with basically pouncing when you sense weakness from a preflop raiser. See here: www.thepokerbank.com/strategy/plays/float. (Love that site, btw.)
well, i assume since we're oop, the times we get aggressive mostly are when a street gets checked through. obviously if we c/c a street and lead the next that doesn't count as floating.
but i think yeah to be pedantic about it, when you're floating you're doing it IP mostly and if you find yourself in OOP spots a lot without initiative you might need to reconsider your PF play that puts you in that spot??

Probe is the definition PokerTracker uses for what you described (betting OOP after a missed cbet). As opposed to a float, which is betting IP after a missed cbet.
I thought a float was when you call a flop C-bet IP, with the intent to fire a wide range on a checked turn.
This is correct and what I have heard everyone use it for in the past 5 years.Quote:

Probe bet is such a jokes name, I would never tell anyone I made a "probe bet" on the turn and expect them to know what I meant
I think the best thing to say is like "I lead turn after a missed cbet" or something similar
Let's just give meaningless names to every possible combination of betting options.
Ok I'll start.
When two people limp, I raise from the blinds and the first limper folds and the second limper shoves, it's called a dork
Just read this thread from start to finish, what a thriller. It gladdens me to say that this captivating thread has rekindled my love for the game of poker, i'm itching to get back to the tables.
Cheers OP.
Like I said....
