Ranges / Under the Gun 5bb
Under the Gun push/fold chart - 5bb, 6-max
Under the Gun open-raises 32% of hands here at 5bb effective (53 of 169 starting hands go in at full frequency). Under the gun opens first with the whole table still left to act behind it, so this is the tightest opening range at the table.
At this depth, shoving dominates raise-folding for almost every hand worth playing - there's rarely enough stack left behind to fold profitably to a 3-bet, so if a hand is good enough to open, it's usually good enough to get all-in.
