8bb Push/Fold Chart (9-Max Nash)

At 8 big blinds there is no raise-fold: you either move all in or you fold. This chart gives the Nash jam range for every seat at a 9-handed table — UTG jams 11%, the cutoff 33%, the button 39%, and the small blind 73% — with the expected value of every individual hand in big blinds.

Expected value per hand (bb)

Eight big blinds is deep in shove territory. A standard 2.2bb open commits over a quarter of your stack, and you have no fold equity left on the flop, so raising small only turns a clean all-in into a mess. Jamming instead means every fold you get wins you the blinds outright, and every call gives you two live cards and no further decisions to get wrong.

The shape of the range is driven almost entirely by how many players are left to act. UTG has eight of them and jams 11%. The small blind has one and jams 73% — far wider than the button — because the only hand that can call is the big blind's, and the big blind must fold a lot to a shove for one blind of dead money.

The EV column is the part worth studying. Hands hovering between +0.00 and +0.05bb are the ones that decide almost nothing: shove them or fold them, the long-run difference is a rounding error. The hands worth memorising are the ones just below zero, because those are the jams that feel right and quietly lose money.

FAQ

Should I ever open-raise instead of shoving at 8bb?

Almost never at a 9-handed table. A 2.2bb open leaves you about 5.8bb behind — you are committed on any flop you continue on, but you have given a caller a cheap look and given yourself decisions you cannot afford to get wrong. Shoving captures the same fold equity with none of the downside.

Why does the small blind jam so much wider than the button?

Because only one player can call. From the button, both blinds can still wake up behind you; from the small blind, only the big blind can. With 1.5bb of dead money in the middle and one opponent who must fold most of the time, a shove shows a profit with about 73% of hands.
