Chart library / Cutoff 12bb
Cutoff push/fold chart - 12bb, 9-max
Cutoff shoves 32% of hands here at 12bb effective (50 of 169 starting hands go in at full frequency). The cutoff is close enough to the button to apply real pressure on the blinds, so the opening range widens noticeably here.
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.
