This is something that happens to me a lot
TAG raises. I call and then then float the flop with nothing in position. I then turn or river (or both!) an actual hand. If he keeps betting I either call, fold or raise depending on the relative strength of the hand, but if he checks to me I often wonder what value I should assign to not allowing him to see my hand, and see that I've floated him.
Hypothetical example:
TAG raises utg. I call in cuttoff with 25s. Flop is KK7. I call. He checks turn, which is a 2. I check it back. He checks the river. At this point I'm 75/80% sure I have the best hand. But I'm 100% sure the guy won't call a river bet with worse. So a value bet is - EV
Ignore the rest of the hand, and the fact that he may call a min bet with air out of curiosity. Is it worth betting to not allow him to see my hand? The way we played our hands, he can learn more about me as a player than I will about him, given how different our lines are. Does this have a monetary value; and if so what is it?
Assume the reg obv hasn't seen me float him before!
