Any thoughts on my line? I don't typically go after gutshots--I was planning on trying a little floating.

[apunisher]

I have been thinking about incorporating the same thing into my game, esp in position, because its one thing that gives me a little trouble. However, this doesn't look like a good idea against this guy, because he looks like he has a hand that he doesn't want to get away from on the turn. Any stats or reads on this guy that made him look like a good target to float against? As played after flop, i think it looks good. Villain flips AA or KK?

[Renton]

mp has to be a tagg for this play to work

[natdang]

I think the floating attempt is pretty noble, but man, you really gotta give up on the river... that was a waste of 60 bucks.

um hero has nuts

[samsonite2100]

Maybe this is my fault for posting too boring of a HH. You guys wanna reread?

[Miffed22001]

its fine.
i assume you were floating on 12 outs by bluffing the flush too? and instead hit the money out and got paid.

ugh?

This all looks good to me... funny i was just reading about this in T & P.
If MP3 is a solid tagg then T9s is a good hand to make a positional call with. the flop gives hero the gutshot, villian makes standard C-bet, unless hero puts him on 2 spades the float is good to see what he does on a blank turn and hero's getting good implied odds ... BOOM hero hits his hidden draw and gets paid off nicely... nh sir

[natdang]

Whoa sorry, falling asleep at my desk this morning... I like it, I'd go after the flush card too

[Cocco_Bill]

looks good

[a500lbgorilla]

i think its clear that floating wasnt gonna work.

[Warpe]

i think its clear that floating wasnt gonna work.

...in hindsight

so maybe now we know that, against op, maybe this was a bad idea?

[samsonite2100]

But then I had the idea of spiking an 8 on the turn, so it all worked out
