BTN min raise or shove BTN min raise or shove

Hi

I'm trying to create a somewhat decent BTN strategy where I have some hands I shove, raise/call and raise/fold to a shove. My question is that if we are using nash equilibrium what are the frequencies to my raise/call and raise/fold and how do we find the frequency? If we take this spot as an example 9handed 20bigs 12.5% antes, folded to BTN who raises to 2bb. No icm considerations. So basically thus far I am shoving most +ev hands but the raise/call range which are top 5%~ of hands which I want to induce with so I min raise, as my raise/fold range I choose some weaker hands that flops decent that I am going to fold to any 3-bet(these hands are too weak to shove pre anyway). The problem I run in to is that if for instance sb or bb shoves on me I want to be perfectly balanced so I'm not over- or underfolding but I dont know how to figure the frequency.

I would gladly appreciate any help, thank you

You are trying to establish a "chart" for these spots when there are too many variables. The chip stacks of SB and BB as well as those players' tendencies to three-bet vs. call vs. fold are critical factors. Also significant is how frequently you have pulled the button-shove move and how long ago. The button shove works every time except when it doesn't, so first time and second time are usually pretty effective unless SB/BB has a premium hand, but the more you do it, the more you need to have cards that you don't mind getting looked up, especially if the SB or BB has a much larger stack. Better to track your own action in-game to make sure you're not becoming predictable.

Big hand mini-open? Many stacks won't necessarily call your all-in but might move all-in themselves, especially as you might fold.

I am unlikely to go all-in with most suited connectors and so, even if the chart says to, as they are not better than two random cards. A small open for implied looks good.

If someone has put some money in the pot, he is less likely to fold, less so if losing won't hurt him too much, in case they might call next to every time (that doesn't look too bad to me even when -EV).
