You definitely have to take into consideration the average level of players of these buy ins and I don't put it past players to open shove 30 BB's with hands like A 10, A J, A Q, sometimes even worse.
What I meant with "abuse" is just raise them x2,5 ATC then call their pushes depending of my actual hand + villain tendencies.
This would not be working probably on higher stakes where I would get a push almost always, but in this stakes, with this players this works fine. I do it everyday.
Anyway, I think I need to do some reading about this subjet, do you know any useful link? I mean ICM situacions (especially calling to push ranges)
For example: I was yesterday at FT of a $1 180p regular Ps sit and go. 3 people left, I was second in chips with like 60, the big stacked had like 90 and the short had 9 at the point of the example.
This 9bb kid was a regular, or at least a guy who played fine. So I had to believe he was pushing almost ATC at that point.
he pushed me like 3 times, I had garbage like 83o. Third time I had A8s so I called.. he had KK.
I believe this call was fine, but, it is? I need to be sure about these spots, that why I ask for some good reading about it.
