Buy's eastbay's program and asks a useful question like what sort of calling ranges should I be using for the SB and BB. /images/graemlins/grin.gif

What calling ranges are you using for SB and BB. This isn't an auto-push...

[curtains]

Its very difficult to come up with a range that doesnt make it a push. There may be one or two specific ranges that make it a very tiny negative EV push, however this really is a very clear allin, as you can't expect to pigeonhole your opponents so precisely.

Also if the blinds are 100-200 before it hits you, it becomes really absurd to fold.

[Unarmed]

Its a fold with A2+, 22+, all broadway calling you, which is pretty reasonable at spent's level.

I'm not sure about A2 calling here, and the more aces I drop the better the push becomes, obviously.

Also, I should probably consider that garbage that Hero has crushed will call here occasionally, so I have to push some instances where the ICM says fold anyway.

Curtains will you please go on an ICM tirade.

More often than not they will be tighter than your range, especially with the A2-A5o hands. Basically in a perfect world you can find a range that makes it -EV, but on average your opponents simply won't play like this.
