moving in spots with M=3 (7BB) and weak hands questions moving in spots with M=3 (7BB) and weak hands questions

Hi guys, sorry if these sounds like stupid questions, but I am still learning =)

My ICM training program says that if you have an M of 3 (7BB) you should shove (first in) in MP with weak hands like 35s, 84s, 45.

My first question is should we really move in that loose against unknown guys
(many guys will call with Ax, Pairs, maybe KQ) on the other side we have to double up and it's not that bad if we are against AK, AQ, as if we are dominated.

The second one... does your answer also apply for Sit and gos with 180 people (I think they are calling a lot more)

And finally the last one =) is there a difference if there are 9 players or 180 Players left with such a low stack?

Thank you very much for your answers

I would be more prone to look at table stack sizes, opponents and stuff like that first. At certain stages its different with 7bb.(like on the bubble)

try your best not to get down to 7bbs in the first place. I think most people are shove fold at 10bbs, but even earlier than that might be better depending on the field. Once you get to a certain point you really have to access your fold equity and how the table is playing. On a tight table you can get away with light but loose table with 7bbs, I'm going to actually still be pretty tight when people will call bb with any two for example.

1) there is something wrong in your icm program , 45 35s 84 is not good enough from mp.
2) yes
3) yes, there are icm concerns, you have to be carefull about other villain stacks, for example, if there are a 3bb stack & a 2bb stack and as a consequence you're 7th, in theory you should be tighter
