Hi. This is a bit of a beginner question, so apologies if it's not in the right place. But I am a bit confused what to do here. I'm trying to learn Spin N Gos, and this is at a micro stakes table.
No specific read on villain - seems like an average micro player, has been moderately aggressive so far but not spewing.
I have had a run of weak hands and haven't pushed much.
ICM suggests pushing here (just) but 45s seems very weak for a push. Or am I misunderstanding what ICM tells us?

PokerStars - 20/40 NL (3 max) - Holdem - 2 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

BB: 24.5 BB
Hero (SB): 13 BB

Hero posts SB 0.5 BB, BB posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 1.5 BB) Hero has 4 5

45s is great hand.
i would try to limp it, if opponent wakes up with a good hand and isolates then you have a great pot odds, position and a suited hand to feel the flop.

OK, thanks, that's interesting. At this level, people only seem to call pushes with hands that have huge equity vs 54s. But yeah - limping might be better.

Basically, if villain raises I'm all-in though with the stack sizes as they are

True, it's probably similar

GTO only starts jamming 54s at 11bb, but vs unkowns you're better off limping
