Here's an example. You raise KQ and are called by the big blind, who is a good player. You flop top pair and bet all the way, and only to sadly get check-raised on the river. What should you do?

Well, this answer is almost always going to invlove a probability triple. Any answer of always folding, calling, or raising represents an exploitable strategy. Some are more exploitable than others, but all of them miss the mark of the perfect strategy.

Your idea might be good, but I think this example is wrong. When defending against this raise, you should consider the whole range of hands you can hold at that point, and then call the correct percentage of the time. There will be a cutoff hand which will be the worst one you call with, and this hand is the only one that might need a mixed call/fold strategy. It makes no sense calling with KJ some of the time and folding KQ some of the time.
