2bb push/fold chart

The shallowest chart, and the one place a range is complete: the big blind calls with every hand. With a big blind already posted and one more to call for a pot of four, nothing is far enough behind to fold. The small blind is not quite so free. Because it will always be called, its jam is a pure showdown, and the weakest offsuit hands, 32o, 42o, 72o and their neighbours, fall just short of the equity that needs, so about one hand in ten folds. From here both ranges only tighten as the stacks grow.

Small blind jams 89.4% of hands.

Big blind calls 100% of hands.

Loading the solved ranges…

These ranges are solved here rather than copied from a published chart. The solver uses the exact all-in equity of every pair of hands rather than a simulation, and the solved ranges are checked so that neither player could gain as much as a hundredth of a big blind by playing any single hand differently. Hands on the edge of a range are close to break-even either way, so they are where charts from different solvers most often disagree, and where a small difference costs least.
