Depending on the number of big blinds you have left and your position on the table, you can tell from these tables whether you should go all in or not with the cards you have in your hand. Beware, these tables are not an exact science, it is up to you to adapt them to your table and also take into account the stacks of your opponents.
These tables are to be used preferably when the players before you have folded. This may be useful for stealing chips, but you'd prefer to get paid when you're at the top of the range and fold the remaining players when you're at the bottom of it.
