Tournament solver spots by stack depth

Tournament decisions change as stacks get shorter. The public library spans 9 tournament depths from 10–80bb; open a stored matchup with its effective stack and preflop action intact.

Tournament · button versus big blind · single-raised · 40bb

The button raises 2.3bb and the big blind calls at 40bb effective stacks with tournament ranges.

Open T♠ 9♠ 2♣

Start with a real flop

Start with the effective stack

A 40bb tournament pot has different incentives from a 100bb cash pot even when the flop looks identical. Stack depth belongs in the question, not in the footnote.

Use tournament ranges

The tournament families use ante-posting tournament preflop ranges. That context is kept with every spot so a cash-game assumption does not slip into the review.

Questions about the public solver library

Does the tournament solver include different stack depths?

Yes. The library covers 9 tournament depth rungs from 10–80bb. The selected family labels its effective stack before you open a board.

Does this replace ICM analysis?

No. These are chip-EV postflop solve families with tournament ranges and stated stack depth. Final-table payouts and bubble pressure require an ICM model on top of the hand context.
