SB calling range vs BTN all-in at 10 bb (9-max)
When BTN goes all-in and you're SB, with an effective stack of 10 bb in a 9-max tournament, the solver plays 29.1% of its hands (call 29.1%) and folds 70.9%. 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.
