15bb push/fold chart

Half the deck jams, and the big blind calls with under a third. Fifteen big blinds is the conventional upper boundary of push/fold, and the reason is visible in the numbers: the shove is risking fifteen to win about one and a half, so the hands that still qualify are ones with genuine equity when called rather than ones relying on folds. Treat this chart as the edge of the tool, not the middle of it.

Small blind jams 51% of hands.

Big blind calls 30% of hands.

Loading the solved ranges…

These ranges are solved here rather than copied from a published chart. The solver runs an iterative approximation, so treat the overall jamming frequency as reliable and the exact borderline cells as the least certain part of the grid. Hands on the edge of the range are close to break-even either way, which is why they are also the ones the solver is least sure about.

See every depth at once on the full push/fold chart tool, or drill the same decision with tournament ICM pressure applied in the ICM push/fold drill.
