When push or fold applies

With a short stack a normal raise commits too much of it to fold later. Moving all-in takes the blinds and antes when everyone folds, and gets the whole stack in with fair equity when someone calls.

The later your position, the fewer players are left to wake up with a hand, so the range grows as you move toward the button.

What these charts are

They are rule-of-thumb starting ranges, not solver output for your exact table. In the trainer you can edit every chart and train with the ones you choose.

Questions

At what stack size should I play push or fold?
A common rule of thumb is around 10 to 15 big blinds and below, where a standard raise leaves you with too little behind to fold.
Why does position change the range?
Every player still to act can call you. From the button only two remain, so you can shove far more hands than from early position.
