PokerStars $0.44+$0.06 - NLHE Tournament (STT, 9-man) - 100/200 Blinds - 4 players

CO: 1820 (9 bb)
BTN: 600 (3 bb)
Hero (SB): 2775 (14 bb)
BB: 8305 (42 bb), (51) VP:31 PFR:19 AF:12.0 3B:0 AS:45 FS:100 CB:100 FC:100 WS:40 W$:100

Preflop: (300) Hero is SB with A :club: 4 :diamond:
2 folds, Hero ???

I shoved my A4o with ~13bb on SB vs BB but against the big stack i dunno.
Reasons to shove: effective stack on SB vs BB, fold equity from the shorty 3bb BTN and the bubble itself
Reasons to fold: opp is big stack, big stack stats

Shove or fold?

I still tend shoving this

Things to consider:
You are on the bubble and you have an opponent with 3bbs.
As I saw on ICM trainer you should push 26.4% of your range, that means A8o+.
According to the ICM is a fold.

The BB looks fishy and the ICM tax is huge with 2 shorter stacks on the bubble and I would fold this a well. I expect he would call wider than he should.

So the 31/19 gap and his big stack status is mainly the reason to fold here, right?
I guess he calls at least 20% of the time or so here instead of the usual 10% i tend to add to ICM calculators for regular callers, is this correct or am i plain wrong?
Thanx for all information and anything else you might want to add, i appreciated that

I think you see it right, but I expect he would call between the 20% and 10% of the hands here.
