New SNG lesson: open pushing charts

All players before you have folded: what range should you push ​​and what roles do position and stack sizes play in your decision?

New SNG Lesson:
Preflop strategy: open pushing charts    

In our previous two lessons you learned what hands you can make a small raise with under the right circumstances; from the "Open Raising" lesson you know that, sometimes, stacks are too small to play postflop and there are certain player types against whom you should not make a small raise.

In such situations your only real choice is between pushing all-in or folding.

In this lesson you will learn about the ranges you can open push in different situations, depending on your stack size and position. You will also find some explanations that will help you to understand the charts and give you a better idea of how to use them.

We hope you enjoy the lesson and have fun!
