Default Re: Does defending BB require a lot of bluffing post-flop?

[ QUOTE ]
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.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the numbers, but it seems that if I play "fit or fold" (which has been my habit, by the way) that I should NOT be defending headsup over 80% of the time. (I would think that the proper number would have been less than 70% of the time, playing just "fit or fold," even assuming that draws count as "fitting.")

Am I making some fundamental miscalculation here?
