Shove is terrible here and is an ICM disaster. There are multiple smaller stacks and you have no fold equity on the big blind. Haven't ran this hand through ICMizer, however I'm pretty sure this spot is JJ+ AK+.

Will depend in ICM implications. What are the payouts? On one hand you have an M of 6.6 so 88 is an easy shove here, on the other hand you are 3rd chip stack. With the payouts you should be able to run this thru an ICM calculator but you'll also need to pay attention to how you classify the other players.

FWIW the call by the A9dd was very loose.

The A9 call off lights more money on fire than the 88 shove. :rolleyes:

Pretty sure this was a freeroll satellite in which only first place paid a ticket. Difference between 7th and 2nd was 0.

If this is the case, then it is indeed a shove as we have no ICM considerations.
