K. 2077 player field. 422 paid and I went out 432nd. Running card dead most of the tourney and playing like a nit.

PokerStars - 350/700 Ante 85 NL - Holdem - 9 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

Hero (BB): 5.01 BB
UTG: 10.86 BB (VPIP: 0.00, PFR: 0.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, hands: 17)
UTG+1: 18.17 BB (VPIP: 13.04, PFR: 4.55, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 24)
MP: 34.42 BB (VPIP: 12.50, PFR: 4.35, 3Bet Preflop: 11.11, Hands: 24)
MP+1: 18.81 BB (VPIP: 25.00, PFR: 6.67, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 17)
MP+2: 25.09 BB (VPIP: 25.00, PFR: 21.74, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 24)
CO: 19.41 BB (VPIP: 12.50, PFR: 12.50, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 8)
BTN: 6.76 BB (VPIP: 33.33, PFR: 50.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 3)
SB: 11.9 BB (VPIP: 10.00, PFR: 10.00, 3Bet Preflop: 0.00, Hands: 10)

9 players post ante of 0.12 BB, SB posts SB 0.5 BB, Hero posts BB 1 BB

Pre Flop: (pot: 2.59 BB) Hero has K K

fold, fold, fold, fold, fold, CO raises to 2 BB, fold, SB raises to 11.77 BB and is all-in, Hero calls 3.88 BB and is all-in, fold

Flop: (12.86 BB, 2 players) 9 J 8

Turn: (12.86 BB, 2 players) 5

River: (12.86 BB, 2 players) T

SB shows 2 Q (Straight, Queen High)
(Pre 11%, Flop 17%, Turn 7%)
Hero shows K K (One Pair, Kings)
(Pre 89%, Flop 83%, Turn 93%)
SB wins 12.86 BB

With approx 12 players left for the bubble this might be an obvious fold given ICM considerations. I figured a $0.88-$1.20 cash isn't worth so much if I can get a big stack right here and improve my odds of going deeper. Thoughts?

If your KK had held up, would you have still considered folding afterwards? Would you have posted this hand?

A 5BB stack is a dead stack IMO. If you figured that min cashing isn't worth it, you should stop playing like a nit & take risks early in the game. Specially in a turbo.
Just my thoughts :)

Yeah I probably would have made the same call here so close to the bubble but not having good hands all tourney. The SB looks like he was just trying to steal the BB and ante from the short stack BB and the hand shows it. Just some back luck on your part though because that was really the only way you could have played that with the hand stack you had.

Honestly no. But should I have taken ICM to consideration and folded in this case? I'm question whether my thought process at the time was correct.

And very valid. Don't forget I was card dead this instance. Nit to tight play is taking slightly longer than expected but it's happening. In fact as we speak ;)

Thanks. The consensus so far is that I wasn't completely out of my mind to do what I did.

Thanks for the feedback guys.

As dumb as the question and scenario sounded I'm still wrapping my head around ICM and that was the basis of this question.
