Button push/fold chart - 4bb, 6-max
Button shoves 49% of hands here at 4bb effective (81 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 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 pot is unopened; this is an open-shove-or-fold decision.

- Button shoves 49% of hands at 4bb effective, 6-max. The chart compares only the listed all-in and fold decisions.

- 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.
