Push/Fold Strategy

When to use: Push/fold strategy is optimal when your stack is below 15-20 big blinds. At this point, you can't afford to make standard raises.

Nash Equilibrium: These ranges are based on Nash equilibrium, meaning they're unexploitable against optimal opponents.

Position matters: You can push wider from late position (BTN, SB) and must be tighter from early position (EP, MP).

Note: These ranges assume heads-up situations. Adjust tighter with multiple players yet to act.
