Default Re: Bluffing Best or Worst Folding Hands?.

Since A has the option to check, his non-worst hands have some chance to win if he doesn't bluff - hence the "bluff with your worst hands" type of solution common to these types of problems.

However, B is going to fold all hands below X that he's not bluffing with. Since they never have a chance to win if you decide not to bluff with them, it doesn't matter if you bluff with your worst hands or not. So, you might as well bluff with your best hands (below your limping cutoff) just in case A deviates from optimal strategy and calls with a bad hand.
