Hello. This is the bubble, as you know, place 5th repeats Step 3.



PokerStars No-Limit Hold'em, 82 Tournament, 50/100 Blinds (6 handed) - Poker-Stars Converter Tool from FlopTurnRiver.com

saw flop | saw showdown

UTG (t3200)
MP (t2330)
Hero (CO) (t1180)
Button (t4030)
SB (t1725)
BB (t1035)

Hero's M: 7.87

Preflop: Hero is CO with T, A
2 folds, Hero bets t1180

I don's have SNGWizz, I need your help to know if this push was ICM-correct, given stack sizes and the fact that since this table was extremely tight I was stealing some pots, my image may be perceived as loose.

personally i like the shove from the CO there because as you said the table is tight and also i think it puts more pressure on the player with 1080 in chips to make a move, and you increase your chances of getting a step 4 ticket as well. Idk about ICM though

I suppose BTN and SB will be tight enough to make this a shove most of the time. So the problem lies with the BB: (from the top of my head If he is nitty enough to call only with something like 9% you can shove. If he would take the "me-or-you" opportunity with something like 20% you should fold.
