Did you go thru and set the ranges for the opponents left in the hand? SNG WIZ is known to not have good default ranges.

def looks light to me. Was it the money or ft bubble? Unsure if Sng Wiz takes this into account, but if so we can shove wider vs other average stacks.

It depends on what parameters you choose for calling ranges and edge, but in general, more people's push-fold games err on the side of not pushing enough than too much.

This is a no-brainer and a snap fold.
I used to play a lot of different SNGs and i have also used this tool to analyze my game. You can't really use SNG WiZ in this particular situation. SNGWiz is an ICM software which analyzes the endgame and to use it effectivelly you have to make sure that you're at least 5-handed (preferably on the bubble) in a 9-max SNG with a standard 50:30:20 payout structure. This is because of the ICM considerations, and there is no such thing as ICM when there are still 9 people playing. I can see you're still 9-handed, so, using SNGwiz in this situation isn't optimal. The second important factor to consider when using SNGwiz or similar software should be the bliind level, antes and the effective stack size. SNGWiz provides the most accurate decision when the blinds are large compared to the stacks, when there are antes in play and with the effective stack below 10BB (preferably below 8bb). Next, you have to be able to assign somewhat accurate hand ranges (shoving and calling) to your opponents. If you can do this accurately, you''ll get more reliable results by SNGWiz.

So I think we don't even have a decision here, and this is a clear fold.

Also, if you really like to analyze your SNG endgame, I would recommend using software like ICMIZER, much better alternative than SNGWiz imo.

Suppose this is a 180-man with about 16 players left, right ?
In that case I think you have to do something pretty soon, but I would wait for a better spot than pushing K4o here.
I don't use SNG wizard tho, so can't say anything about that, but as ramdeebam said, I think folding is fine.
