Hey! A friend asked me about this hand. I am also not sure about what is the best choice on the flop, calling and having an SPR of 1 to the turn can be tough to play when the turn brings a scary card. I think im agree with shoving because the icm is very high and denying equity + stacking some worse hands seems atractive, but im not sure if it's the optimal lane. Preflop is pretty std imo.
