Chart library / UTG+1 5bb

UTG+1 push/fold chart - 5bb, 9-max

UTG+1 shoves 26% of hands here at 5bb effective (38 of 169 starting hands go in at full frequency). One seat after under the gun, still with most of the table left to act - the range widens only slightly from UTG.

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.

Common questions

What percentage of hands does UTG+1 open-shove at 5bb?
UTG+1 shoves 26% of hands at 5bb effective, 9-max. The chart compares only the listed all-in and fold decisions.
Is this a baseline or an exploit range?
This is a chip-EV baseline for a restricted shove/fold model. It does not compare limps, smaller raises or postflop play, and it is not a guarantee of unexploitable multiplayer play. Separate exploit solves target specified opponent tendencies.
