MDF (minimum defence frequency)

How often you must continue so that bluffing you is not automatically profitable.

MDF is pot ÷ (pot + bet): facing a half-pot bet you need to defend about 67% of the time, or an opponent can bluff with any two cards at a profit. It is the defensive mirror of Fold equity. It sets a floor on how wide you continue — not an instruction to call everything.
