Heads-Up Push/Fold Chart: Nash Shove and Call Ranges

At 10bb heads-up, the Small Blind shoves 58% of hands and the Big Blind calls the shove with 38%. At 15bb heads-up, the Small Blind shoves 45% of hands and the Big Blind calls the shove with 27%. The two tables below give the limit for each of the 169 hands: how deep the Small Blind can shove it, and how deep the Big Blind can call a shove with it.

Stacks are the effective stack in big blinds before posting blinds, chip-EV, no antes, solved from 1 to 25bb. A number N means the hand is a pure shove or call (at least 95% of the time) at every stack from 1bb to N; “—” means not even at 1bb; * marks a hand that is a pure action again at a deeper stack. Methodology.

Folded to the Small Blind is heads-up

When every player folds to the Small Blind at a full table, only the Big Blind is left to act. Under chip-EV with no antes that is the same game as heads-up, so these limits match the Small Blind spot charts for 6-max and 9-max: SB 5bb, SB 8bb, SB 10bb, SB 12bb, SB 15bb, SB 20bb. Each spot chart also shows the full Big Blind calling range for that stack.
