In the context of poker, "flatting" and "floating" are two different terms that refer to different actions in the game. "Flatting" typically refers to calling a bet with a strong but not premium hand, usually as a way to stay in the hand and see a more favorable flop or turn. "Floating," on the other hand, refers to calling a bet with a weak hand, usually with the intention of bluffing later in the hand if the board develops in a favorable way.

So, in summary, the main difference between the two terms is the strength of the hand that is being played. "Flatting" involves calling a bet with a stronger hand, while "floating" involves calling a bet with a weaker hand with the intention of bluffing later. It's important to note, however, that the distinction between these two terms can sometimes be blurred, and they may be used interchangeably in certain situations
