Limper is a loose fish, 50 VPIP, raiser has been 38/22ish or so. I'm sure jamming here is +ev, but is it more +ev to just flat? Can someone explain ICM implications here? Thanks

Slightly bubble factor so you need better pot odds/equity than you normally would but definitely just jam. With 13BB it's not like you "want to" play post flop with AK, you will miss a lot of the time, and the times he has a hand like AJ and you both miss you don't stack him etc...

Looks like a spot for you to shove ATs AJo 77+ or something, maybe a little bit tighter but probably not wider.
