In multi-table tournaments, push-fold charts are most useful when stacks are shallow and the decision is mostly preflop. The chart gives a baseline for which hands can move all in first in.
Why MTT Charts Need Context
A chart cannot know your exact payout pressure, table size, or opponents. JustShove uses the same important inputs: hand, stack, position, stage, antes, and previous action.
Best Stack Depths To Practice
Start with 8BB, 10BB, and 12BB spots. Those stack depths create the clearest shove-or-fold pressure and make late-position ranges easier to understand.
Common MTT Mistake
Many players memorize first-in shoves but forget that calling all-ins is much tighter. When you call, you lose fold equity and must win often enough at showdown.
