Big Blind calling range vs. UTG+2 shove - 12bb, 9-max

Big Blind calls 13% of hands here at 12bb effective (24 of 169 starting hands go in at full frequency). Facing an all-in from UTG+2, this is Big Blind's continuing range (call or shove) rather than an opening range.

This is a restricted shove/fold solve, not a complete opening strategy. It does not compare a shove with smaller raises, limps or postflop lines at this depth.

Model: chip-EV; 0.125bb ante per player, not a big-blind ante. Stacks are measured before posting blinds and antes. Solver 0.2.1. The opponent is already all-in; this is a continue-or-fold decision.
