AoF: shove or fold, stop dreaming

Date: 08/31/2025

All-in or Fold (AoF) is two buttons: shove or fold. Decision is preflop. Leave postflop dreams at the door.

What you need to know about AoF

How it plays:

Fixed stacks (usually 8bb), cards dealt — shove or fold. No postflop: showdown or everyone folded.

Formats:

Cash Hold’em and Omaha. Up to 4 players per table.

AoF strategy

Preflop selection is everything:

A shove/call-range miss costs immediately. There’s no “I’ll recover on the turn”.

Position is key:

Even four-handed, ranges move. Early — tighter; SB can shove wider.

Read the table:

Pace is fast — you’ll see who shoves trash and who’s glued shut. Adjust charts to humans, not textbooks.

Skip the complex models:

GTO solvers, SPR, postflop math barely belong here. Push/fold charts. That’s it.

Push range table (Hold’em AoF)

Position — shove hands

UTG 77+, AJo+, ATs+, KQs

CO 66+, AT+, A8s+, KQ, KJs+

BTN 55+, A9+, A5s+, KJ+, KT+, QJs, QTs

SB any pairs, Ax, Kx, Q9s+, JTs, T9s

Bankroll — how to stay alive

Most decisions end all-in, so AoF variance is uglier than classic poker. Keep a cushion or tilt will eat you.

150–300 cash buy-ins

Bottom line

All-in or Fold is fast, mean, and honest. Preflop range, position, adaptation. Looking for deep postflop? Wrong door.
