Floats (4) - Failed Floats

by MiiWiin

Floats are a good option to take pots in position without improving, but there is certainly no guarantee they will work. So what can you do when floating fails? The hand is obviously not over yet.

This time we ask you to examine spots in which your opponent second barrels, check/calls the turn or check-raises you. So what's your line?

Good luck!
