What is a 12BB push/fold chart with a big blind ante?

It shows which hands to shove all-in and which to fold from every position at 12 big blinds when the Big Blind also posts an ante. With a big blind ante the Big Blind posts 1 extra big blind for the whole table, so 2.5bb is in the pot before anyone acts instead of 1.5bb. Each range is a precomputed chip-EV Nash equilibrium.

How much wider are 12BB shove ranges with a BB ante?

At 12BB with a big blind ante, Nash push/fold shoves 19% of hands from Under the Gun up to 70% from the Small Blind at a 6-max table, and 12% to 70% at 9-max — 4 to 18 percentage points wider than with no ante. The biggest change is the Small Blind in 6-max: 70% with the ante against 52% without.

Which position pushes the widest range at 12BB with a BB ante?

The Small Blind, with 70% of hands. It has the fewest players left to act, so a shove takes the 2.5bb pot uncalled most often.

What stack size does this chart assume?

12BB means every player starts the hand with 12 big blinds, before the blinds and the ante; the Big Blind pays the ante out of its own stack. The ranges are chip-EV Nash equilibria with no ICM, solved from 1 to 25bb against the Nash calling ranges of the players left to act.
