Cutoff Push/Fold Range at 12 BB (9-Max)
Push 23% of hands
The Cutoff pushes 23% of hands at 12BB (9-Max).
Marginal hands on the threshold — KTo, QTo, QJo, 76s — can go either way; the Nash solution mixes them, so a consistent default (push or fold) is fine in practice.
This range is 4% tighter than at 10BB.
At 12BB you still have minimal post-flop play; commitment decisions happen on nearly every street, making push/fold the dominant strategy.
