Should HERO call in this spot on the bubble, with the short stack all in? ICMIZER says call. More than half Hero's stack paid BB.

Easy call, I don't know what ICM recommends but I would call a LOT of hands in that spot, maybe close to any 2 (def any suited).

Checked in calc now, it's an any 2 spot (adjusted CO range to a more realistic one).

K8o is +1.3, folding it is a big mistake.

Even without ICM calc, just think with logic - you and the bigstack both cover him, so if bigstack wins, u still get 3rd, if you win, you will have a massive stack. If shorty wins, you might still win vs bigstack and stay alive.
If you fold and shorty wins, you are in a horrible position to cash this tournament.

Calling 32s is about -3%, just saying

"ICM calcs"

Hm, is it a good idea to use a model that does not see the guy behind me is Ai in 2 hands on the bubble while hero is not?

U still streaming right? GL, love what u do to get new players into the pool

I get +1.36 with 32s (adjusted CO range to make it more realistic + FGS).

You need to use FGS in HoldemResources to calculate this hand properly. Of course, without FGS it might give you wrong results like telling you to fold 32s there.

My bad, i misread the hand and did a totally different calculation, makes first post nonsense.
if interested, this was what i did:

^thats what you should take away from this


also, if you fold and shortie doubles up youre screwed

AND calling here will also decrease the amount of 3rd places you get and increase 2nd and 1st, witch is obv what we want
