Frequently asked questions

Are these push/fold charts GTO Wizard?

No. They are chip-EV Nash open-shove ranges for unopened pots (folded to hero), computed with our published solver and exhaustive HU equity tables — not a commercial GTO package, and not ICM.

When should I use these charts?

As a tournament short-stack baseline when everyone folds to you and stacks are roughly equal. Tighten for ICM (bubble, final table), bounties, and satellites. They do not cover limps or raises.

Why is the big blind missing from the position list?

These charts are for first-in open-shoves. The big blind has already posted and is not opening unopened pots in the same way.
