The 1/2 = Bingo mentality is not incredibly far from the "online is rigged" mentality. It shows an incredible lack of understanding about the game, and an inability to adapt.

The river is always the hardest street to call because there is no more cards that can come.
this. I can't count how many times ive gone for three streets of value against a villain in 1/2 and them just go "aw shucks I missed" and fold on the river. To people who say bluffing isn't possible at 1/2 if at any point a villain folds to a value bet, than they are equally capable of folding to a bluff.
