How to read this spot

With 20 BB, a standard raise commits too much of your stack: the cleanest play is all-in or fold. These are the hands to shove from HJ when everyone has folded to you.

This chart is based on chip-EV Nash equilibrium, without ICM. Near the money bubble and at the final table, tighten it, especially if bigger stacks are left to act.
