Button push/fold ranges
The button is one of the best seats to shove from: only the two blinds are left to act, so your all-in takes down the blinds and antes uncontested most of the time. It is where push/fold makes the most money. The chart above is preset to the button; change the stack, table size and ante to match your game.

How these ranges were calculated
Nash equilibrium ranges in chip EV with equal stacks, from our own solve of every seat with and without a 1 big blind ante. Tap any hand in the chart to see the biggest stack it can be shoved at and what shoving gains over folding. See how we calculate for the full method.
