[W. Deranged]

Bet/folding is a very hard thing to get comfortable with and I, personally, took a long time before I could do it with the very limited sense of equanimity that I can now.

Yes, you are right, bet-folding too much encourages river bluffs. But, I think you might find that bet-folding is advocated in this forum far more than others precisely because of the nature of the small stakes game. In our games, our opponents generally are not of the sophistication to pick up on our tendencies (like bet-folding too much) or to be able to selectively and profitably bluff raise the river. (Those players who do bluff raise the river at the small stakes level tend to be very obvious about it and do it way too much, and so with reasonable statistics and observation we know who they are).

So, yes, your concern is a good one, but one that is, in my opinion, far more applicable in mid-stakes or higher-stakes games (and also in live rather than online) than in the Party 3/6-type universe in which we reside.
