How wide do you shove here? BB is a very decent regular.
Based purely on ICM you need a range of 17.95% so this is a clear fold. It might be correct to shove to preserve fold equity though - after you pay the next blind you'll have none at all, I think it depends on how loosely other players are calling and what type of hands - if they call any pocket pair or k high+ hand you are in trouble.
Saying that you will almost certainly be put all-in next hand by your SB so it might be better to take a chance with some fold equity and a better hand than ATC next turn.
Hi all,
Given that we're paying the blinds next hand and we're still 2 from the money I would prefer to shove preflop with any >50% hand. Because that's on average better than the hand I get next hand...
If you thought BB didn't understand pot odds or something, I might shove any two.
ICM doesn't take the fact that blinds are going to hit you, etc. into account.
