Chart library / Big Blind vs UTG+2 5bb
Big Blind calling range vs. UTG+2 shove - 5bb, 9-max
Big Blind calls 57% of hands here at 5bb effective (103 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 chart compares only shove and fold in a short-stack model. Smaller raises or limps can still matter in the full game; they are not evaluated here.
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.

Common questions
- What percentage of hands does Big Blind continue with against a UTG+2 all-in at 5bb?
- Big Blind calls 57% of hands at 5bb effective, 9-max. The chart compares only the listed all-in and fold decisions.
- Is this a baseline or an exploit range?
- This is a chip-EV baseline for a restricted shove/fold model. It does not compare limps, smaller raises or postflop play, and it is not a guarantee of unexploitable multiplayer play. Separate exploit solves target specified opponent tendencies.
