No specific read on villain. First tourney played with how, hadnt done anything out of line in the couple dozen hands i had on him.

Weird spot with BB essentially all in. Feel like i should be limping my entire range. Villain has been pretty aggressive both opening and 3betting over 100+ hands i have on him at these stack depths and number of players. He should be decently tight seeing as i cant really fold that much too him, but lot of guys wont realize this.
So just curious about line check. Also thoughts on how to analyze this with ICM calc. Say we have 16 players left and 7 pay, should we try and replicate that 40% of field cashing by making payouts top 3 pay and trying to somewhat replicate payout by like averaging 1st and 2nd for first, 3rd and 4th for 2nd and 5-7th for 3rd?
