Hello yall. Need your input on a bust out hand in the big 5 FT. Should i shove and get it through often or just make sure the 7 bb stack busts before making plays like this? I feel pretty crappy about it afterwards, especially with the sick run out lol.

My philosophy on final tables is to minimize variance as much as possible. You'd be amazed at how few micro players understand ICM and will allow you to ladder up by taking themselves out.

In this spot you don't have a huge amount of fold equity against the second largest stack at the table and there is a player with 7bb who is about to get hit by the blinds again. So I wouldn't take the high variance line of 3b-shoving. Although I never advocate calling in the SB, this is a spot where it wouldn't be a bad play. It sets you up to get it in on the flop with a low SPR and a hand that can flop really well. And if BB comes along for the ride and makes it a 3-way pot, that's actually a good outcome here.

yea, i would fold because of the icm and wait for the short stack bust. Calling Ip is a option if you have reads on the villain and u know the blinds are tight. Shove is a bad play .

Depends on villain, but probably a slightly profitable shove. Would likely pass readless.

Actually might be close. Lets put it in ICMiser and see. Hero was in second to last place already. I might like a flat call pre better, and able to fold if you miss. No reads on villain, but as played villain was out of line, imo.
