Was re-reading this thread, can you use bet/(bet+pot) to figure out a balanced strategy on earlier streets when the bets aren't all in?

I'll take a stab at this one:

You can, but you need to know the equity of continuing vs. folding, and you have a ton of variables as far as turn and river unknowns and bets yet to come. So, if you can understand all of that stuff on the fly and make solid probability estimates which take into account your reads on villain and everything else that is poker, then yeah.

bet/(bet+pot) is your minimum required equity to continue profitably in any betting situation.

Not quite, that would be ignoring implied odds.

Nope because hands that are behind usually have equity, so it's more complicated than that. The best coverage I have seen of what you're talking about here is the multi-street [0,1] games in Mathematics of Poker. Long story short, you're going to be folding less than bet/(bet+pot) instead of exactly bet/(bet+pot) to be balanced.

This is also true.
