Game: No-Limit Hold'em | Format: Cash Game | Scenario: Why is 'Minimum Defense Frequency' (MDF) often ignored on the flop and turn in favor of equity-based decisions?
- Rake is too high on early streets to justify defending at MDF
- MDF assumes folding forfeits all equity permanently, which is only true on the river
- Solvers have proven that MDF is mathematically incorrect in all situations (under this line)
- Opponents never bluff on the flop or turn
