It would not be the same for all players.
I agree with the other poster that the defense frequency would be shared amongst all players other than the bettor, but the calling frequency would increase based on how close you are last to act on that betting round.
Another factor is that the bettor has to consider that he must beat multiple hands instead of just one hand so his betting range may be stronger than normal and bluffing candidates heads up might be losing bluffing candidates multi way because the bluff works less frequently, the hand has less equity, and there are more reverse implied odds for your weaker bluffing hands due to potential domination.
