UTG+2 push/fold chart - 12bb, 9-max
UTG+2 shoves 18% of hands here at 12bb effective (28 of 169 starting hands go in at full frequency). Two seats after under the gun, the last of the truly early positions at a 9-max table - still tight, but a step looser than UTG and UTG+1.
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.
