Small blind push/fold ranges
In the small blind only the big blind is left to act, so you shove wider than from any other seat. The big blind gets a good price to call, which keeps your range from being any two cards. The chart above is preset to the small blind; 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.
