SB range vs HJ limp at 100 bb (6-max)
When a recreational player limps from the HJ and you're on the SB, with an effective stack of 100 bb in a 6-max tournament, the solver plays 26.6% of its hands (raise 5.00 bb 26.6%) and folds 73.4%. These frequencies come from Exploit It's full preflop tree: a chip-EV equilibrium with antes, computed for every position at the table. The limper is a typical recreational player: his limping range is assumed (small pairs, suited aces, connectors, weak broadways, about 19% of hands); you and the other players play equilibrium against it, with an isolation raise or an all-in.
Each cell: the share of each action for that hand, left to right. Gray cell: hand not in the range at this point.
Key takeaways for this spot

- Surprise: the solver folds some top-50 hands here, such as A8o, A7o, K9o, A6o.
- Conversely, the solver plays hands ranked outside the top 100, such as 86s, 75s.
