MP: t29847 M = 13.27
CO: t4894 M = 2.18
BTN: t10276 M = 4.57
Hero (SB): t10526 M = 4.68
BB: t6140 M = 2.73
UTG: t5817 M = 2.59

Pre Flop: (t2250) Hero is SB with K

1 fold, MP raises to t4800, 2 folds, hero?

Big stack was playing rather agressive and pretty sure im far ahead of his range, but alot of shorties left...

I'm shipping everytime, if he's bad enough to open 4x there he might even be bad enough to fold. Presuming he calls you're normally at worst flipping for the CL but have him crushed a load too.

I'd query the ICM figures more if you had 25k to his 29k with 4 3k shorties but you're only an orbit away from joining the shorties and calling any of them light would cripple you.

Never ever folding. Shoving is massively profitable and folding is just burning money.

If you folded, you should do something else instead of poker.

Yes you're right to be considering ICM pretty heavily, but not to this extent. Just go all in.

ICM is a factor when you have a marginal decision. Having a top 3% hand and wondering how to play it 8bb deep aint even close to marginal.

Not sure you really understand ICM.
