MP 10 BB Push Chart: All-In Range from Middle Position

Ten blinds from middle position is 35 hands, 16% of combos: noticeably wider than disciplined UTG but still a long way from the button's free-for-all. This is the spot that shows whether a player understands position or memorised one range "for every occasion".

The make-up: pairs from 33, suited aces from A7s, offsuit aces from ATo, kings from K9s and KJo, queens from Q9s, JTs and T9s. Against UTG at the same stack you gain ATo, KJo, the small pairs and T9s — every player who folds in front of you is worth several new hands in the range.

The trap hands at this mark:

• ATo — shove, though many fold it: ace-ten has enough equity against calling ranges, and the ace blocker cuts the chance of running into a monster.
• 22 — fold, though the pair shoved at 8 BB: two extra blinds make the coin flip too expensive.
• QJo — fold: a pretty but dominated hand; its turn comes on the button.
