Chart library / Hijack 8bb
Hijack push/fold chart - 8bb, 9-max
Hijack shoves 31% of hands here at 8bb effective (47 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 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.
