V is 24/19 over 60, flop cbet FWIW 67

Is this a good spot for an OOP float? He has reggish stats and a full stacks, so most likely fires a cbet on this texture close to 90% time. I decide to go for a float with my OK hand.

Once he checks turn, he basically gives me green light to bluff river. Do I bluff all rivers? Ace? Does the river card affect my bluff sizing? As in: if it's a 9 it's an overcard to his (unlikely) 7x so I could bet lower than if the river came another 2 - does it make sense?

This kind of play looks like a good way to turn the hands you are forced to call with in BB into a bit of profit. Please share your tips on the art of reverse floating.

not a good spot
would def call if it was Qd2c7h
here it's an easy x/f

Does the backdoor flush draw really make the difference between XF and XC on the flop? Floating in position I agree, as this gives me plenty of hands I can be aggressive on. When I am OOP however, it is more difficult to be profitably aggressive: XR is tricky to pull off OTT, as villain will check back a lot.

obv it does make a huge difference
mainly because if you float this you will end up not x/f otf, which will obv be super exploitable

So basically you're saying the advantage of a backdoor flush draw is that I'm arbitrarily "allowed" to play the hand?

on a little less than 1/4th of the deck you could x/r turn for instance, you protect against barrels on K turns as well

here you got nothing working for you

I think he's saying that if you are floating without bfd, you are floating any kind of hand and this is exploitable. I agree with Martim here, backdoor straight draw and 1 over isn't enough to float for me here.

on a little less than 1/4 deck * (his turn cbet stat) to be exact

the backdoor flush allows you to continue on a lot more turns profitably.

So do you have any rough guidelines for OOP floating? We have established BFD, BSD and 1 over is good enough, how about no overs? No BSD? How would you rate the floatability on this flop of:
5 6,
A 4,
K 6,
A T,
A 5

Ad5d<AdTd<Kh6h<Ah4h<6h5h

yeah, but it's not a give or take which turns he'll continue to bet, so that stat has little to do with it

however, if that is over a big sample , you can start floating more liberal OOP because you'll have more opportunities to bluff rivers. Naturally you should also x/r less turned draws since his turn barrel range is stronger.

(fwiw, I actually don't x/r turned draws that often, it was just an example in my initial post)

Do you feel comfortable XC with a backdoor flush, turning the FD and XC again?

Do you then go for a donk bluff, or a XR bluff OTR more often?

you can x/c again a diamond draw or x/r it depends if you can rep made hands or not

well, I would x/r some turns with draws that don't have sdv or in spots where you want to x/r some strong hands (which is just on drawy boards). Just keep in mind that there are also spots where villain won't barrel and that you sometimes hit your draw. I don't donk rivers basically and the particular spot you're worried about is quite rare, i'm sure you should x/r some of it otr, but it's becoming really complex to figure out what it is as you need to map everything out, and as long as you're at 10nl-50nl you can be pretty sure people aren't barrelling enough.

Well I appreciate any coherent wall of text
