I am a cash game professional who will play MTT's on the side when it makes sense. I understand the idea of ICM but have not put too much study into situations like this, facing a jam with a (imo) borderline hand. Of note, villain had been 2.25xing a good amount, even bvb as low as 11bbs effective. My thinking when they open rip is that they never have AQ+ and TT+ as those would open to 2.25x to induce. Payouts are 5.7k for 3rd, 7.7k for 2nd, and 10.4k for 1st. Whats our calling range here in this spot considering the ICM pressure we are under?
PokerStars - 40000/80000 Ante 10000 NL - Holdem - 3 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4
SB: 18.88 BB
Hero (BB): 17.42 BB
BTN: 56.83 BB
3 players post ante of 0.13 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB
Pre Flop: (pot: 1.87 BB) Hero has T
A
BTN raises to 56.7 BB and is all-in, fold, Hero ????

If V were shoving the top 45% or so of hands then our calling range is 88+ ATs+ AJo+, whereas if your assumption about V inducing with TT+ AQo+ is correct then our calling range changes to 77+ A9s+ ATo+. So there's a baseline from which you can widen or tighten if you think you can somewhat accurately estimate villains frequencies based on history
I'm sure there are players in an MICOOP $200 ripping Q8o and T7s in this spot, but I certainly don't think it's the majority of the field. This is probably more of a fold than I thought.

For reference, here's a 45% range. This isn't ICM based so the actual range will be a little different but this is in the ballpark.
