Its a complex situation, but some of the questions, I ask myself, are these:

[LIST]
[*]Do I have showdown value, meaning can I sometimes win, if the hand goes to showdown? A high can win quite often, if the opponent has many busted draws in their range, but 6 high will literally never win.
[*]Can I tell a credible story, meaning are there any hands, I would play like this for value? If not its usually better to give up.
[*]Is the opponent a calling station? Then its obviously not good to bluff, and more hands have showdown value due to all the junk, they arrive with.
[*]Do I have relevant blockers? If there are 3 cards to a flush, then its best to have one card of that suit, because it gives the opponent less flushes in their range.
[*]Do I need to be balanced? Against regs I probably do at least to some extend, but against unknowns or fish there is no need to.
[/LIST]
If I am to mention just one single rule, then it is, that if in dought its never a big mistake to not bluff the river. The reason for that is, than in GTO play bluffs are pretty much zero EV, and we mainly make them to force opponents to call us down more, when we are betting for value.
