MP: t600 M = 5
CO: t515 M = 4.29
BTN: t168 M = 1.40
Hero (SB): t220 M = 1.83
BB: t628 M = 5.23
UTG: t569 M = 4.74

Pre Flop: (t120) Hero is SB with Q J
UTG raises to t569 all in, 3 folds, Hero?

As I see it, there's no way that a normal ICM calculation (wiz for example) is going to yield that a call here is correct here. On wiz, the villain has to be shoving ~35% to yield a positive edge. But, considering that if we fold we have no fold equity in the future and considering that we have a hand that plays decently well against his likely shoving range, does anyone like a call here?

Ugly spot and I probably fold. I'd be more interested in how you got to this point. Did you fold your BB?

Seeing as everyone else called here and the BB is the 'big stack' I dont think a call here is bad.

I would be interested to see his stats though, the more loose he is the more likely I would call, where as if he was more of a tag i would be more inclined to fold and be prepared to shove a wide range of hands when you have first in vigorish

I don't remember. Why is it relevant?

Interesting spot. This could be one of those spots where you make a slightly -EV decision in order avoid a huge -EV decision in the future. Having said that, you will be surprised at how much FE you have with 180 chips at 40/80 in these, especially against fish.

I am leaning towards a fold. You have a few hands where you can push 50-60% when folded to you from any position

If you had any more chips is an easy fold. If you had a worse hand it's a very easy fold. That's against a random. If it's a good regular I actually fold here, just because their range is still relatively tight.
