Re: Bet Folding
[ QUOTE ]
OP,
i guess the follow up is: what are bad spots to b/f?
1) when HU. in multiway pots, bluffing frequency goes way down, indeed for most opponents a big street bluff percentage is around 0% multiway. when HU this percentage increases dramatically.
2) when HU and the turn or river blanks. self-explanatory
3) when the turn puts up a flush draw and you're HU or 3 way. self-explanatory
4) when HU, and the turn or river is a scare card and its obvious that card doesnt help you
these are off the top of my head. in general, although counterintuitive, people also take more shots when the pot is smaller, knowing they have more fold equity. so keep that in mind as well.
all of this also depends on your opponents. some never bluff. some value raise the river with things you beat. it varies, which is why reads are crucial.

Kit, you seem to imply here that bet/fold is usually not a great line when headsup. But in most of the games you (and I) play, aren't most hands headsup on the river? It seems that most of the times bet/fold is talked about on the boards here, it is referring to river betting. How often does a good opportunity to bet/fold the river actually come up?
