Floaters tend to call with a variety of hands, but there are some more common types. Overpairs are a classic floating hand - they want to hit their set on later streets but will call multiple bets along the way to realize their equity. Draw hands are also common, like flush draws, open-ended straight draws, and gutshot draws. The hise hands want to see cheaper cards and likely won't call a big river bet. Floaters will also call lighter than usual with middle or top pair, hoping to improve on later streets or simply calling to trap and steal the pot. However, floaters can call with a very wide range, so it's dangerous to put too much weight behind any one hand type when facing a floater. Strong post-flop play remains the best overall strategy.
