BB range vs SB limp at 100 bb (3-max)
When the SB limps and you're in the BB, with an effective stack of 100 bb in a 3-max tournament, the solver plays 100.0% of its hands (check 47.0%, raise 3.20 bb 53.0%) and folds 0.0%. These frequencies come from Exploit It's full preflop tree: a chip-EV equilibrium with antes, computed for every position at the table.
Each cell: the share of each action for that hand, left to right. Gray cell: hand not in the range at this point.
