I've got an ICM related question, and I'd like to use this hand to help ask it:
poker stars $2.00+$0.20 No Limit Hold'em Tournament - t150/t300 Blinds + t25 - 9 players - View hand 471506
The Official DeucesCracked.com Hand History Converter
BTN: t7830 M = 11.60
SB: t6050 M = 8.96
BB: t1054 M = 1.56
UTG: t7355 M = 10.90
UTG+1: t7290 M = 10.80
UTG+2: t2035 M = 3.01
MP1: t3901 M = 5.78
MP2: t5135 M = 7.61
Hero (CO): t1780 M = 2.64
Pre Flop: (t675) Hero is CO with 8 :diamond: 2 :heart:
1 fold, UTG+1 calls t300, 3 folds, Hero ???
Here, my hand is complete and utter trash, but I can increase my stack by 50% if I can take it down pre-flop. In general, is pushing here profitable, even with this type of hand? How often do opponents need to fold in order for this play to have a positive expectation? What if the pot is only 33% of my stack? If someone could help me derive an equation, too, that'd be hugely helpful.
