I will ICM this hand tomorrow but just want to know your thoughts on this...

PD: It´s a PKO MTT, and by then i had only one bounty hunted (so my bounty and other one)

I would gamble in this spot and we ideally double up in order to give us the best chance of winning the tournament. I would be cheering for the chip leader to call/raise our near all in bet.

Since it's a pko there's less payjumps so there's less ICM implications due to smaller pay jumps and less prize heavy.

I would prefer shove over 3 bet. If he is very active and you miss the flop what you most the time will he can push you away and you invested a important part of your stack. When you rejam he cant push you away and neither call light because youre range is so strong
