Shove Marginal Fold

(empty)

How to use: Pick the spot (SB shoving, or BB calling a SB shove). Set effective stack in big blinds. Green cells are profitable Nash actions; dark-green cells are marginal — close to break-even. Pre-fold-shove decisions in the small blind and pre-call-or-fold decisions in the big blind account for ~90% of short-stack tournament EV — memorize the 10 BB chart first.

Caveats: Nash assumes both players play perfectly. Versus a calling station, you can profitably shove wider than Nash. Versus a Nit who only calls QQ+/AK, you can shove much wider. Use Nash as a baseline, then loosen as villains tighten and tighten as villains loosen. Antes shift everything: with a 10% ante, ranges widen by ~10-15% because the pot is bigger.
