Strategy

Minimum defense frequency is a simplified benchmark for how often a range must continue to stop a zero-equity bluff from automatically profiting. It does not prescribe the correct response in every poker situation.

Example

Example of Minimum Defense Frequency

An opponent bets $50 into $100. The benchmark is $100 divided by $150, or about 66.7%, before accounting for range strength and other strategic factors.
