Ranges / Small Blind 30bb
Small Blind push/fold chart - 30bb, 6-max
Small Blind open-raises 40% of hands here at 30bb effective (73 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.
At this depth this range plays more like a standard open-raise than a shove - there's enough stack behind to apply real postflop pressure, and folding the weaker hands to a 3-bet is a genuinely live option.
