Is there much discussion of DoNs on this site? There is almost nothing at 2+2 so I am hoping there is more here.

fold, Hero??
I have a very hard time knowing what to do when I get shortstacked in these games. On one hand, it is almost always a fold according to ICM. on the other, I am getting desperate for chips and if I wait much longer I am not going to have any fold equity. Take this hand. I am out of position with a subpar hand. ICM says to fold, but half my chips are about to be taken away from me. while I do not really want to push here, I typically look at it as cashing in my fold equity while I still have some. Is it right to push in spots like this? Should I be pushing any non total **** hand in this spot, or listen to ICM and take my chances with the blinds?
I think the biggest problem at this point is that my ICM odds are never going to get better. I am going to keep getting pushed farther out of position and lose chips to the blinds in the process. WHen I do finally get into position, I am going to have no FE. This is why I am leaning towards a shove and pray that it gets trough. What do you think about this?
