Wes Mantoothz (Feb 27, 2009) What about the floater? Seems like the standard cbet is so oldschool people are super ready for it.

Sean Lind (Feb 27, 2009) The Floater is absolutely a useful tool. The key is understanding your opponent. Many high-level poker players are just as aware of floaters, and actively play to "sink the floater".

If you don't know your opponent, a C-Bet is typically a good idea, if you're playing someone tricky, only then should you start mixing in the floaters.
