ive never done an ICM calculation in my life, but my take is:

fold preflop


your chance of geiing 1st or 2nd is pretty small, i'd focus on getting ITM first, then go apesh*t.

Button blinds out b4 you, and thus will have to win a hand. He will force it with a poor hand...

I agree Big Limpin' that was an easy fold.You are not the one who has to take some risks.First get into the money.

I think you should fold this. Not so much to wait out the short stack, but because the hand/position/stack size combination isn't favorable enough.
You will learn more by answering this kind of question yourself. Start with the ICM caculator and PokerStove and go from there.
