Chart library / Hijack 12bb

Hijack push/fold chart - 12bb, 6-max

Hijack shoves 25% of hands here at 12bb effective (39 of 169 starting hands go in at full frequency). The hijack acts before the cutoff, button and both blinds; those four remaining players shape its open-shove 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 pot is unopened; this is an open-shove-or-fold decision.
