I've recently started to train/learn ICM in 6 man hypers. Now I'm facing a problem, I can't really understand when to shove and if the shove is correct. I find myself in spots where i just keep shoving when there is like 5/4 people left, I know these shoves are correct acording to ICM. Am I interpreting ICM correctly? Is it good/okay just to shove as soon as it's ICM correct?

It just feel wrong to shove stacks as big as 10-15 bbs like 3-4 times in a row.
Should I just min raise at these stack sizes? It just feels like people are shovingon me then, and i cant possibly call these with the bottom half of my range.
Appreciating all comments/clarification.

This depends on Villains and their calling range. Do you have ICMizer? There you can adjust your shoving range by putting Villains on different calling ranges. If the Villains at your table are loose calling stations who are not ICM-aware then you have to tighten your shoving range or on the other hand: You can loosen it a little bit when you have a bunch of very tight "nits" at your table. So you can´t just shove because it´s a standard ICM shove. This standard range is meant for the average players who are ICM-aware.

I don´t know which limits you play but generally in the micros you should tighten your range a little bit up.
