You haven't a clue what's Nash equilibrium for hold'em. No one knows it.

That's true. But we still have an idea of what it would look like. In this situation we know that the optimal strategy will have the probability of a player's hand being a bluff asymototically approach 0. Most of us have learned, from experience that players tend to deviate from this equilibrium by actually bringing that probability to 0 after 3 or 4 bets; and by doing this they are only deviating slightly, and the edge one could gain from this deviation is extremely small.

OP's question was about the optimal strategy, not the maximal strategy. The question you keep answering pertains to the maximal strategy.
