How often should you float?

there are enough weak-tight players that will check-fold turns to make it a useful once-in-a-while play.

it requires a read though because there are enough calling stations as well.

It is definitely not necessary to be profitable, but it should at least be in the bag of tricks to be pulled out at special occasions, even at lower stakes.

I guess its just your definition of lower stakes. If you talking the like of 25 nl and uder your wrong IMO heres why

1. People dont bet the flop without ahnad in wich case your putting in money behind wich leads us to #2

2. people dont fold

3.Noones paying attention and the average player sits less then 30 min, odds are if your playing 25 nl for 2 hours the oppents are compltly different the second hour then the first, this is one o the main reasons to play ABC at the micros. Also how do you really bluff with a 10 doallar stack? If a guy wants to goto the river its not like he has to risk more then a cheap lunch (if even) to find out.
