Hi guys, I have a really big doubt and can't really find a answer. Here it is: Lets say We are 5 out of 12 or 7 out of 9 and we have 10-15BB, does we still play with Nash charts for push or fold or we begin to play more tighter because of ICM? I am really afraid to push J9s+ T8s+ etc from UTG or UTG +1/2/3

I post my graph below I think I'm not playing perfect and there is some big leak I found 4.15% a bit low. This is mixed 0.5$ / 1.5$ but mostly 0.5$.

ICM can be a very large factor on/near the bubble and on the FT. You definitely don't want to stick with standard push-fold ranges when ICM pressure is high. Depending on the situation, you should either be shoving wider (because you have so much fold equity), or folding almost every hand (in the hope that others go busto).

P.S. Your graph looks pretty decent, but you've been running a fair bit below EV for the second half of that sample. I wouldn't recommend radically altering what is a theoretically winning style. You've just been running badly recently.
