folds to SB who pushes.

1) Am I supposed to fold ATC due to stack sizes of CO and button?
2) Is SB pushing ATC?
3) Knowing that SB is at least pushing a wide range, should I call?

top two go to step 6. 3 and 4 stay at step 5. 5th and 6th place drop to step 4. 7, 8, and 9 are out.

1) Not ATC but 80%-ish?

2) Yes.

3) No - calculate your bubble factor given that the CO only has 3.85 the BTN 4.78 and you'll have 5.14 once the blinds pass along with the flattish payout structure you and I think that ATo isn't in your calling range.

I think you are better off folding and then shoving ATC in to the two players to your left (assuming you get the chance).

My thought process could be way off here though - Interested to see what others think. Is the CO short enough compared to the Hero to justify folding ATo to an ATC shove?

You could set a steps payout structure in SNGwiz, and have a look. I'm too lazy to do it for you though. If you play steps a lot i'd suggest it.

1) no. It's not a typical satellite structure, so you're supposed to be tight, but not folding atc. Obviously getting 1st or 2nd place is way better than 6th.

2) if he's any good

3) w8 for an icm wiz to tell you or do it yourself in wiz - if you have it.

I'd say pretty confidently that its a comfortable call, co n button aren't even that short. But like I said haven't done any ICM calc for it.
