Q: As for the ICM hands, when we apply it. What would be the correct calling range (for hand 3&4)?

Hand 1) KQo has to be at best break even vs 20% range and thats not factoring in stacks left to act behind. Its a fairly meh spot and I probably save my stack to shove later on.

Hand 2) Fine.

Hand 3) Call.

Hand 4) Fine.

17/9 seems weird for a reg esp with filters for higher blinds??
should be call vs anyone but a super terrible reg

def shove

call for sure both 3/4, in both cases icm is obv present but not super huge because you are the shortest stack in the first and in the 2nd the shortest stack shoves into you so you cover a little/still live with a small stack if you call and lose

For 2,3,4 the same as everyone else.

for the first with KQ I dont really like a call here. Move up the ladder a bit first before you start calling shoves here without top range.

Other guy has less than 1bb left, gotta be ICM spot here.

1) 17/9 doesn't seem that reggish. Over how many hands? Feels like a fold, QKo doesnt do that well vs his range I think

2) Seems fine, might be closeish

3) This looks familiar . I'm calling, bottom of my range though.

4) Call and cry when he shows 33
