MDF (Minimum Defense Frequency)

Minimum Defense Frequency, Or MDF, Is The Share Of Your Range You Must Continue With So That An Opponent's Bluff Cannot Profit Automatically. It Equals The Pot Divided By The Pot Plus The Bet, So Facing A Pot Sized Bet You Defend At Least Half Your Range. It Is A Guideline, Not A Rule, Against Opponents Who Rarely Bluff.
