Re: Does defending BB require a lot of bluffing post-flop?
No, the whole thing about defending the BB more is that it isn't hard to show a profit against a loose raiser simply by playing fit-or-fold and making sure that you see a showdown the vast majority of times that you make a pair. Certainly you should be doing some semi-bluffing when you flop a decent draw (btw, a gutshot can be quite a strong draw when you likely also have pairing outs) but you don't need to get too fancy when you miss.
