The 10bb push/fold chart at a glance
Ten big blinds is the classic push/fold stack. Open-raising and folding to a reshove throws away too much of your stack, so almost every playable hand should go all-in or into the muck. The chart above is preset to 10bb; change the seat, table size and ante to match your game.
Shoving ranges at 10bb by seat (9-handed)
| Seat | Big blind ante | No ante |
|---|---|---|
| UTG | 16% | 8% |
| Middle position | 19% | 10% |
| Hijack | 27% | 18% |
| Cutoff | 33% | 25% |
| Button | 44% | 32% |
| Small blind | 72% | 60% |
At a 6-handed table UTG shoves about 22% of hands at 10bb with an ante. Heads-up, the small blind shoves about 72% and the big blind calls about 54%.

Key points at 10 big blinds
- From the button you can shove K9o all the way up to 16.5bb, so it is a clear shove here.
- UTG shoves pairs down to 33 at 10bb with an ante. A2o is only a UTG shove up to 7bb, but from the button it is a shove at 20bb or more.
- In the big blind, call a button shove with about 35% of hands and a small-blind shove with about 54%.
How these ranges were calculated
These are Nash equilibrium ranges in chip EV with equal stacks, from our own solve of every seat at 9-handed, 6-handed and heads-up tables with and without a 1 big blind ante. Tap any hand in the chart to see the biggest stack it can be shoved or called at and how many big blinds it gains over folding. For other stack sizes, use the full push/fold chart, or see the 10bb, 15bb and 20bb charts. Near the money or at a final table, tighten up and check spots with the ICM calculator.
