What are some common mistakes to avoid when floating in poker?

[Mike_25]

What are the most crucial poker floating errors to avoid? As a long-time casino poker enthusiast, I find that many players who try to float too often end up paying for it. They call too wide on earlier streets, miss important tells from their opponents, and then have a hard time getting away from marginal hands by the river. What do you think are the one or two most vital floating mistakes to identify and steer clear of in order to substantially improve one's poker game? I would love to hear from other experienced players on this.

Unfavourable consequences can result from failing to take into account how your opponent is likely to respond to your float. Floating might not be as successful if your opponent is notorious for placing repeated continuation bets or infrequently folding to aggression.
