21 Dec 2025 Advanced This material is for experienced players bet sizing bluff fold equity ranges Low stakes players are calling more in 2026. Marc Goone breaks down three key adjustments: spots to size up for value when opponents are capped but inelastic, situations where big bluffs no longer work, and small tweaks to turn unprofitable bluffs profitable again. Players call way more than before. Size up when opponents are capped but sticky. Big bluffs fail more often - use small tweaks. Strategic Adjustments for 2026 Pool Changes: Size up massively for value when opponents are capped but inelastic - small pots with showdown value hands won't fold even to overbets Overbet queen-high boards in 3-bet pots - opponents weighted heavily toward top pair and won't fold even to big sizing Avoid big boy bluffs on board pairing rivers - use small bet sizing to target busted draws instead of trying to move strong hands Check back on static dry ace-high boards - wait for turn action to cap opponents' ranges before running profitable river bluffs Size down on turns against trappy players - small turn bets force them to raise strong hands or lead rivers, letting you bluff safely Adjust bluff sizing based on SPR - shallow stacks require different approach than trying to move top pair with deep money Go linear with four-bets out of position = aggressive players call too wide in position, exploit by outflopping them with value hands
