15BB push/fold with BB ante — FAQ

What is a 15BB push/fold chart with a big blind ante?

It shows which hands to shove all-in and which to fold from every position at 15 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 15BB shove ranges with a BB ante?

At 15BB with a big blind ante, Nash push/fold shoves 16% of hands from Under the Gun up to 66% from the Small Blind at a 6-max table, and 10% to 66% at 9-max — 3 to 18 percentage points wider than with no ante. The biggest change is the Small Blind in 6-max: 66% with the ante against 48% without.

Which position pushes the widest range at 15BB with a BB ante?

The Small Blind, with 66% 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?

15BB means 15 big blinds behind everything already posted: the blinds and, for the Big Blind, the ante. 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.
