UTG+2 push/fold chart - 5bb, 9-max
UTG+2 shoves 28% of hands here at 5bb effective (44 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 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+2 open-shove at 5bb?

- 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.
