Hi guys

FT. Villain is reg.

I put this in ICMizer and says a really slighty bad call, although i am not sure i am using it right haha

OK we are the second shortest at the table so i suppose we have to risk and try to double up...but does it apply the same when we collide with the other short stack? Dont we "suffer" more ICM pressure and fold more hands vs him?

    I don't really dislike the call because you two are shortest stack at the table. You will have to gamble and try to double up.
    It all depends on BUT shove range and BB tendencies to overall. Reads are really important here
    ICM is a factor, but not too relevant because there isn't other shorties on the table

    Agree with Pouled, we have everything to gain and nothing to lose really and V can have worse Ax, Kx, non A broadways, flips and SCs as he should be somewhat wide shoving btn here

    ICMIZER prefers an over shove I reckon... not a call... I hope so because that is what I'd do.
