Push/Fold Charts
When you're short, poker becomes a jam-or-fold game. These are the shove ranges for every position from 5bb to 20bb, in chip EV and under ICM pressure — read one at a glance, then drill it against the solver.
The 5bb and 8bb charts are decoded from our solver database. Deeper stacks and the ICM charts are Nash jam-or-fold equilibria computed by BeyondGTO — see the method below. · method

Final table ICM
8 left, everyone paid (30/20/14/10/8/7/6/5%). Busting costs a pay jump, so calling tightens and jamming shifts.

Bubble ICM
8 left, 7 paid (30/21/15/11/9/8/6%). The stone bubble: the widest gap between what jams and what calls.

How to read a push/fold chart
Each chart is the 169 starting hands laid out in the usual grid: pairs down the diagonal, suited hands above it, offsuit below. A teal cell is a hand the solver moves all in with when it is first to act; a navy cell is a fold. A cell that is part teal is a mixed decision, jammed some of the time, and the split shows how often. The percentage above each chart is the share of all hands it shoves, weighted by how many combinations each hand has: a pair is 6 combinations, a suited hand 4, an offsuit hand 12.
The first thing to notice is how much the seat matters at the same stack. At 15 big blinds in chip EV, the first-in jamming range runs UTG 12%, UTG+1 13%, LJ 17%, HJ 20%, CO 27%, Button 33%, Small Blind 54%. The small blind shoves more than four times as wide as under the gun with the same chips, because it has one player left to beat rather than seven.
Stack depth: what changes between 20 and 5 big blinds
From the button the jam-or-fold range goes 5bb 47%, 8bb 41%, 10bb 39%, 12bb 36%, 15bb 33%, 20bb 31%. Under the gun it goes 5bb 25%, 8bb 19%, 10bb 15%, 12bb 14%, 15bb 12%, 20bb 9%. Two things are happening at once. As the stack shrinks, the blinds and ante become a bigger share of what a shove wins, so more hands are worth the risk; and the callers' ranges widen too, which is why the range does not simply double every time the stack halves.
Above 20 big blinds, shoving stops being the only option: a raise with the intention of folding or calling becomes available, and the correct play is no longer a single chart. That is why these charts stop at 20bb and the opening ranges take over from there.
ICM: the bubble makes shoving looser, not tighter
Most players assume ICM means playing tighter everywhere. It does not. ICM makes calling tighter, because a caller who busts loses a pay jump, and once the callers tighten, the shover can go wider. At 15 big blinds the button jams 33% of hands in chip EV, 39% at a final table where everyone is paid, and 84% on the stone bubble. The small blind goes from 54% to 64% to 100%.
The effect is strongest in late position, where few players are left to call. Under the gun, with seven players behind, the numbers are 12%, 10% and 17%: the final table actually tightens the earliest seat, because the chance of running into a caller who is happy to gamble is higher, and the cost of busting is a whole pay jump.
The practical rule: on a bubble, shove wide from late position against stacks that can bust, and call tight; at a final table where every pay jump matters, treat early-position shoves with respect and widen only where the seats behind you are short.
What these charts assume, and when to adjust
Every chart is for one situation: eight players with equal stacks, a big-blind ante, the shover first to act, and callers who may only call or fold. Real tables differ, and the direction of each adjustment is more useful than any exact number.
- Unequal stacks. What matters is the effective stack, the smaller of yours and the one most likely to call. With a big stack behind you that covers you, shove a little tighter; with only short stacks left to act, shove wider, because their calling ranges are tighter than the chart's equal-stack callers.
- Fewer players. At a 6-max table the first seat to act is the lojack, so use the LJ column and ignore UTG and UTG+1. Short-handed, every seat's range widens because fewer players are left to wake up with a hand.
- No ante. Without an ante there is less in the pot to win, so every range tightens by a few percent. With a bigger ante, widen.
- Your opponents. The charts assume callers who defend correctly. Against players who call too tight, which is most of the field below 20 big blinds, shoving wider than the chart is right; against a player who calls too wide, tighten.
The full method, including the Monte Carlo equities and the ICM model behind the computed charts, is on the methodology page.
Common mistakes
- Limping or min-raising with a shoving stack. Below about 15 big blinds a raise that is not all in gives opponents a cheap re-shove and leaves you folding with a quarter of your stack in the pot. The charts are jam or fold for a reason.
- Using one range for every seat. The difference between the first seat and the small blind at the same stack is the biggest single effect on these pages, far larger than a few big blinds of stack depth.
- Folding too much from the small blind. With only the big blind to beat, the small blind's range at 10 to 15 big blinds is wider than most players find comfortable. Fold it and you bleed the ante and blind every orbit.
- Tightening everything on the bubble. The right adjustment is to call tighter and shove wider from late position, not to fold your way to the money.
- Memorising the chart without the reason. Learn the shape, suited aces and suited connectors come in before offsuit broadways, pairs come in before everything, and the chart becomes something you can rebuild at the table rather than recall.
Questions
- What is a push/fold chart?
- A chart of the hands to move all in with when you are first to act at a given stack depth, with every other hand folded. Below about 20 big blinds in a tournament, shoving or folding is close to the only correct play, and the chart tells you where the line sits for each seat. At 15 big blinds in chip EV, under the gun shoves 12% of hands and the button 33%.
- How many big blinds should you push/fold at?
- Below 20 big blinds the charts apply directly; above that a raise with the option to fold becomes correct and shoving every playable hand costs money. Between 10 and 15 big blinds almost every first-in decision is a shove or a fold. From the button the chip-EV jamming range is 31% at 20bb, 33% at 15bb and 39% at 10bb.
- What is the difference between a Nash push/fold chart and a GTO one?
- They are the same idea. A Nash equilibrium is a pair of strategies, one for the shover and one for every caller, where neither side can gain by changing. Game-theory-optimal play is that equilibrium. The 5bb and 8bb charts here are decoded from our solver database; the deeper and the ICM charts are Nash jam-or-fold equilibria computed by BeyondGTO with the method on the methodology page.
- How does ICM change push/fold ranges?
- ICM tightens calling ranges, because a caller who busts loses a pay jump, and a shover facing tighter callers can shove wider. At 15 big blinds the button jams 33% of hands in chip EV, 39% at a final table with everyone paid, and 84% on the bubble. Early positions change less, and the final table tightens them slightly.
- Do these charts work for 6-max tables?
- Yes, with one change: the first seat at a 6-max table is the lojack, so start from the LJ column and ignore UTG and UTG+1. Every seat shoves slightly wider short-handed than the eight-handed chart shows, because fewer players are left to act.
- What do the charts assume about antes?
- A big-blind ante equal to one big blind, the common modern structure. Without an ante there is less to win and every range tightens by a few percent; with a larger ante, widen.
- Should I call with the same range the chart shoves?
- No. Calling ranges are much tighter than shoving ranges, because the caller must beat the shover's whole range without the chance that everyone folds. The pages for each chart show the shove range; a calling decision needs the equity of your hand against that range, which the equity calculator gives you.
- Can I download the charts?
- Yes. Every chart on this site is available as a PNG from its own page, and the full set is in the free chart-pack PDF linked on this page. No account is needed for either.
- How often are the charts updated?
- When the data changes: a new stack depth or format in the solver database, a change to the computation method, or a correction. Each chart shows the date its data was decoded or computed.
How the computed charts are made
- Eight seats (UTG, UTG+1, LJ, HJ, CO, Button, SB, BB) with equal stacks, blinds 0.5/1 and a big-blind ante of 1.
- The pusher is first in. Every seat behind may call; the first caller closes the action (no overcalls).
- Hand-vs-hand equities are Monte Carlo (200,000 trials per matchup, all 169×169 pairs) with card removal applied to the opponent's combos.
- Chip EV maximises final chips. ICM prices every outcome with the Malmuth–Harville model against the payouts shown for each context.
- Ranges are solved by fictitious play — alternating best responses for the pusher and every caller until neither side can gain — so marginal hands come out as mixed frequencies rather than a hard line.
Each cell shows the GTO jam frequency — the % of all hands shoved first-in. Click any cell for the full range grid and a trainer.
