I was looking at a solve for CO v BB (3bp) on QdTh7h

BB has some hands like K4s, K3s, 65s, and 54s in their range.

But they are never betting anything other than the heart or diamond combos.

BB does bet hands like J7s and 87s, which to me, would have been non-intuitive. However, those aren't complete air.

So should we ever be forcing ourselves to find bluffs that are complete air, or should that be we reserved for spots where we have a significant equity/range advantage?

All those hands have either tp draw or BDFD+BDSD.
Solvers do make some super weird bluff for example

Like betting with this random air combos. I think the idea is to have some air when bunch of draws get there.

if opponent folds at or more than in mdf, you bluff airballs. if he doesn't, you don't
in your example opponent likely underfolds compared to mdf
