我的兴趣是搞点语言学习和研究的,所以特别考证了一下。
下文(如果你英文好的话) 可以发现他词源学上和float 本意:漂浮 的关系不是很大,而且是被一个人发明的
但这里引申了一下: 如果你用烂牌跟注对手的下注(bet), 你就好似“盘旋”或者“漂浮”在对手的下注之上,伺机拿下。 很多词你很难找到对应的中文,因为外文也是新发明的,所以用“缠打”解释我觉得有点到位。
如果要让我发明一个词的话 : hmmmm.... 游击??浮打? loll maybe kinda weird.
Defination
Calling a bet without a good hand intending to bluff the bettor later in the hand.
Popular Uses
I'm gonna float the flop and hope to knock him out of the hand on the turn. -Unknown
Etymology
It's a little known fact, but the term "float" was invented out of whole cloth by the highstakes poker player Matt Szymaszek, and credit is overdue.
But Seriously, Folks
The term comes from the idea that when your opponent puts out his bet (generally on the flop), you call, waiting for the opportunity to strike later. You are sort of hovering or "floating" over your opponent/your opponent's bet, getting ready to seize the opportunity to take the pot.
Floating Scenario
A common situation in which you might attempt a float is when faced with an over-aggressive player. He can't hit a hand every time, so as long as he has shown at least some ability to lay his hand down, you may want to try floating him on the flop if you think he's just making a continuation bet with air. |
