FT of 2$ zoom - current payout $32 going up to $500 for the winner.
We've had about 10 hands of FT and my image should be tight as I've not played a hand. Table is annoying as big stacks are playing loose and small stacks tight. V has been on my SF table and has been playing LAG - my HUD was not functioning for some reason but I see now that I had him playing 32/19 over 104 hands. However he's calling all ins as well as opening pretty liberally.

I shoved thinking I had fold equity - but given I am playing against CL & given ICM was it a mistake?

Against an utg open and with so many shortstacks, especially in the blinds, I would fold here. For me AJs is the top of my folding range in this spot.

yes - the more i think about this spot the less i like it - against this player I'm getting called >50% of the time and squaring off with the chipleader is just so bad - maybe even AQ should hit the muck

You should put this on ICMizer, but without doing any calcs, I.0,d this is quite ez fold. Villain should be aware that the whole table have reshove stacks and he has to call vs anyone else than MP1, MP2 and maybe vs you.

Yeah you don't have much fold equity in this spot and what puzo said he should be aware that he has to call a lot of short stack all ins if he gets pushed on so that should tighten his opening range more and AJ is just not a strong enough hand to jam. What about if he has AQ is that also a fold? AK I'm assuming is a must jam.
