I think that's a decent rule of thumb if we don't have showdown value. But where, for example, you have a draw and then you pick up a pair, that can easily move your hand up into bluff-catching territory instead of bluffing territory. The problem is that in LHE sometimes it moves you up into value territory!

The river came...Js8c4d7h8d...I checked and he bet.
When you call turn I think you are committing to calling again on this sort of river. The only thing that has changed is that villain chose to bet again rather than check it back. If your opponent gives up on a lot of bluffs on the river I think you can fold exploitatively, but we should probably assume they're gonna keep firing.
