Hi guys, first time poster here.

Final table in $22 hyper turbo, 4 people left

Prizepool (estimated, not exact numbers)

4th: $550
3rd: $770
2nd: $1130
1st: $1750

Blinds are 125k/250k
Stack sizes:
CO : 2,818,058
BU: 6,561,102
Hero (sb): 1,937,440
BB: All in with Ante

So obviously ICM implications are massive here and BU can shove (almost) anything. I'd seen him shove 10-2o last hand so I knew his range was ATC.

CO folds, bu shoves. I have kqs in the small blind. I decide to call because:
1. payouts are much bigger for 1st/second
2. kqs is pretty crushing against atc
3. The only way I bust in 4th is if bb's ATC beats me and BB, and I lose to bu

What do you guys think? Do I need to take the essentially guaranteed $200 and fold? If its a fold, what can I call with? If not, how light can I call?

Not sure how to calculate this but my guess is that we can only call much tighter - something like JJ+ and no unpaired hands. KQs is only 63% against atc

Super easy call with KQs here

this..and its a hyper which makes it even more of a call

I ran this through ICMizer and it came up with a range of 77+,A9s+,ATo+,KJs+
assuming BTN is shoving 75% - so KQs is a fairly tight call - KQo a marginal fold.

So I was off beam but maybe its not as clear a call as people are saying

I chose not to comment on this post when I first saw it because I thought this was really borderline and I wasn't sure how I would play this.

ICM is often counter-intuitive and I could definitely see why this might be a fold.

I'd probably go with it in game though.
