Hello,

ICM shows that Hero calls here with ATo+.

Having that in mind, is it better to make this borderline call which has +EV or is it better to preserve your stack with the intention of terrorizing the rest of the players with it considering we are reaching the bubble and everyone is short stacked?

Well as always it depends if villain shoves as wide as he should. One thing to consider in this spot is that good players will shove wider than nash suggest in general. Reasoning for that is to keep his stack in shape where he has fe when shoving. E.g. if he folds next blinds his stack will be severely hurt.

So fold can be fine if we think villain is too tight but as default I would iso shove this.

As overwhelming chip leader I prefer to be the aggressor than taking a marginal spot. Read less I would fold as well.
