So, here is a chance for everyone to fess up and give up your secrets....
Just kidding.
There are many books and philosophies on bluffing criteria and frequencies. They are not all compatible with each other. I am currently reading Matthew Janda's book "Applications of No-Limit Holdem". The book is very insightful. Punchline is that I do not bluff nearly enough - he recommends a 2:1 bluff:value betting frequency. This seems quite high to me. There is a lot more to it than this, as this is a terrible oversimplification of the book. Of course any bluffing frequency begins with what your opening hand range is.
My question is: do you think it is a fair assumption to assume that an opponents bluff frequency is really about the same as widening your assumptions about your opponents range? Or are these two different pieces of information and unrelated?
