Reference push/fold ranges for short-stacked MTT play

These ranges do not account for antes or ICM. Most live tournaments play a big blind ante; with the bigger pot, both shoving and calling ranges should be wider than shown.

Push/Fold Tips

The shorter your stack, the wider you should push. At 3bb, shove almost any two cards.

Later positions can push wider. BTN and SB are prime stealing spots.

Consider pot odds when defending. BB should call wide vs SB shove.
