Hi Guys,

Been a long time since I did this but trying to work on my game some more.

So I'm down to 14 players in the BIG Shot 55 on 888 and sitting in 8th pretty comfortable.

I have ran this through ICMizer on MTT mode (but not sure if I've done it correctly) and it says this is a fold. I thought this was a pretty standard call with pay jumps tiny at this stage? Aside from the decision in this hand does anyone know the best way to run this spot? I do not have any solvers ( aside from HRC and ICMizer).

Pacific Poker - 3000/6000 Ante 750 NL - Holdem - 7 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

MP: 15.26 BB
CO: 32.42 BB
BTN: 21.83 BB
SB: 13.18 BB
BB: 21.78 BB
Hero (UTG): 23.39 BB
UTG+1: 40.31 BB

7 players post ante of 0.13 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.37 BB) Hero has A♦ Q♠

Hero raises to 2 BB, fold, fold, CO raises to 32.3 BB and is all-in, fold, fold, fold, Hero ?

I don't know the paid out structure. That makes it tough to give good feedback, but read less I would think you are flipping most of the time against villains shove range. You have most of the time a tight range from the UTG position and I don't think it's worth it to flip with still a lot of shorter stacks in the tournament.

Cheers,

Thank you. Yes I have put my hand in equilab and villains perceived range and it's right on the line I think.
I also posted in a discord group and feedback points to fold.

Pay outs are only a few dollars difference up until final 9 players, with $115 locked up and $2.5k up top!

I see. I expect it's a top heavy paid out structure, but even than it's also a interesting spot for the villain to put ICM pressure on you. That could make villains range maybe wider than I would expect, but that's all about reads and stats you have on him/her.
