Every seat at 10bb

What these charts assume
- Eight players, each with 10 big blinds.
- Blinds of 0.5bb and 1bb, and the big blind posts a 1bb ante for the table.
- Shove or fold only: no limps and no smaller raises.
- Chip EV. ICM is not modelled, so near the bubble or at a final table, calls in particular should be tighter.
- Solved until no seat can gain more than 0.001bb a hand by playing differently.
Now play it
Knowing the chart is one thing. The trainer deals you these spots one hand at a time, in the big blind and everywhere else, and prices each answer in big blinds.
