Suppose you've got QQ or AK in the early stage of a micro- buy-in MTT with about 40 people.
Two people shove all-in. Given the stakes, there's a good chance you have the best hand. But then again, it's not just one, but two shoves, so your chances are probably 50/50 at best.
Do you just fold and wait for a higher probability play or do you try to build a big stack? If it were a cash game and you were getting better than 1 in 3 odds, it would be worth it, but obviously, this isn't cash.
If I recall correctly, ICM says a push with QQ+ is positive, but of course, ICM isn't perfect.
