Button push/fold chart - 12bb, 6-max
Button shoves 37% of hands here at 12bb effective (63 of 169 starting hands go in at full frequency). Only the blinds remain behind the button, so its open-shove range is wider than early-position ranges. This chart does not model postflop play.
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 pot is unopened; this is an open-shove-or-fold decision.
