This is a hand coming from the ICM trainer, but I wonder how I should play it in a real situation, in a 3$ game:

8 players remaining(chip stacks rounded):
2800 CO
2500
2800
2800
2600
1230 HERO
2740 SB
2220 BB

Blinds are 200, hand dealt 74o.
According to ICM i should push only 35,4%. SB's calling range is at 16,3% ( including 33+, A3s+), BB's calling range is 30,2%(including any pair, J9s+, T9s).
I know I should expect my opponents to call far too light, but in this situation I would expect the opposite. I don't think that a typical opponent would call with J9s or low pocket pairs (given that I have a solid image). Should I deviate from the ICM here and push looser? I'm even thinking about pushing ATC here.
How does it change when facing a typical 3$ reg?

Hi all,

I think you should push around 60% (some small adjustment vs Nash) given your views on your opponents. Remember that the more opponents you have to get through, the more often one or the other will wake up with a callable hand. If a typical 3$ reg is behind me then I feel we should tighten up if he also recognises we are a reg.
