Flop: Q ♠ 7 ♦ 2 ♣. Hero bets 3.3 bb. Villain (Big Blind) folds 40%. Is Hero's bet profitable with a total air hand (0% equity)?
- No, because a pure bluff with zero equity can never be profitable in No-Limit Hold'em.

- Yes, because the fold frequency (40%) exceeds the required α (25%).
- No, because MDF requires the Big Blind to defend at least 75% of their range.
