Ranges / Big Blind vs Button 5bb
Big Blind vs. Button push/fold chart - 5bb, 6-max
Big Blind calls 66% of hands here at 5bb effective (121 of 169 starting hands go in at full frequency). Facing an open from Button, this is Big Blind's continuing range (call or shove) rather than an opening range.
At this depth, shoving dominates raise-folding for almost every hand worth playing - there's rarely enough stack left behind to fold profitably to a 3-bet, so if a hand is good enough to open, it's usually good enough to get all-in.
