In one of Harrington's books, he says that even the most passive players in the world are capable of bluffing 10% of the time. He uses that in his calculations when deciding what play to make.

Yeah, but I think that in limit, this is an overestimate. Bluffs aren't as powerful when they're just one BB. You're more likely to encounter situations that meet Sklansky's criteria where it's impossible for the person to be bluffing. My personal metric is more like 5%, which means that in a 20 BB HU pot, I'm calling one on the river with just about anything reasonable.
