Chart library / Small Blind 13bb
Small Blind push/fold chart - 13bb, 6-max
Small Blind shoves 60% of hands here at 13bb effective (100 of 169 starting hands go in at full frequency). The small blind opens into just the big blind, a heads-up spot where a wide, aggressive range is usually correct.
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.
