1, do you bet the flop here?
2, do you call his shove? I think we are getting odds to call, even in an ICM sense...if i fold, to his shove OTF I have a 10.3% equity share of the prize pool. If I call I have 20.6% if i win, or 4.3% if i lose

In post-game analysis, ive identified his range as:
99-JJ,55,KTs,QTs+,J8s+,T4s+,97s,95s,87s,KTo,Q2o+,J4o+,T7o+,95o

I am 65% equity against this range

if i narrow it further to strictly Tx hands, sets, and two pairs which i think is most likely (99-TT,55,KTs,QTs,JTs,T4s+,95s,KTo,QTo,JTo,T7o+,95o) I'm at 45%
can I reduce the range any further? or is this a pretty realistic range?

worst case scenario, im risking 6% ICM to win 10% ICM with 45% equity. (+0.54$EV)
is that the right way to think about this from a math perspective?

Nh, snap call. Betting the flop 100% of the time.

Considering we're 8 handed in a 9man STT, I don't really think we need to be focused on ICM or $EV at this point (please correct me if I am wrong WiZZiM). We have two overs + a FD against what is likely a one pair or worse hand.

The range you give your opponent is a tad too wide, though a 57/35 over what is a small sample will definitely be hooding wider than normal range here.

in the moment during the hand, I was thinking he is almost always showing up with top pair. and sometimes JJ. I dont think he shows up with a pair of 9s very often. but i do think, based on the type of player he is, that he could be making this play with worse flush draws or even straight draws...

i know ICM isnt necessary this early. 1.7:1 is pot odds in ICM and 2:1 is pot odds in chips so it does make a bit of a difference. but mostly I want to practice thinking in terms of ICM since its a new concept to me.

(EDIT: getting a little too sleepy for math lol, correction to pot odds)

My official input is as follows...


Raise smaller pre. 2.5x should be fine.

Bet flop 1/2 pot, so that's what you did.

Not folding here. Nope.

icm isn't that much of an issue here. if we call and lose we're still left with 10bb and a perfectly fair chance of cashing the tournament. but if we call and win, we now have a monster stack which we can use to make sure we cash and have more of a chance for first place. yeah i call.

My sizing pre was to try to avoid a multiway pot. 2.5 is standard, but the table was very lose
