How to use it

  1. Pick a stack depth (1–200 bb). As stacks get shorter, open raises give way to all-ins — the push/fold zone.
  2. Pick the actions before your turn, in order. With nothing picked, the chart starts at the UTG open (RFI).
  3. Read each hand’s frequencies by colour on the 13×13 grid and tap a cell for details.

Frequently asked questions

What does chip EV mean?

A strategy that maximises chips without accounting for the payout structure (ICM). Near the bubble or at a final table, where payouts put more pressure on you, play tighter than this.

How is it different from the cash charts?

Eight-handed with a big blind ante, the pot starts bigger, so you open and defend wider. Open sizes also vary by seat and stack, from 2x to 3.5x.

At how many big blinds does push/fold start?

There is no fixed line — the shorter the stack, the more all-ins. Step the stack down and watch on the chart where raises turn into all-ins.
