I'm going to make it three times that you've been given the right answer: You have almost no fold equity in live low stakes.
As a rule, cut the multi-street bluffs out of your game (have decent equity to keep barreling). In a 2 or 3 way pot, feel free to c-bet flops with a scare card and similar situations. But if you whiff in a 4 way pot, you should just check/fold.
The games here in vegas are changing a lot; they play way more like online games than they did last summer when i was here last. If your town is like Vegas is now, you're likely to be facing two different kinds of players.
The first group are the typical live recreational players who didn't go to the casino to fold, by golly. Against these guys, you have no fold equity because they want to get to showdown.
The second group of players you will run across are the online players. Most of these guys are assuming they are the best player at the table, and will do silly **** like float you on pretty much any flop because they are planning to take the live player to poker school and outplay you.
Against these guys, you have almost no fold equity on most flops.
Against the online guys, you DO have fold equity on the turn, if you pick your spots. And your FE does go way up on scare cards on the turn against both groups.
So I'm not going to say, "just don't bluff." But I will say that any bluff you make that is not a no-brainer spot to bluff you better be thinking about long and hard before you pull the trigger, because it is probably a mistake.
