When do you let a marginal +$EV situation go and wait for a better spot?
From a 30+3 I played yesterday
100/200 blinds
Stacks
UTG 5500
Hero 1200
SB 1600
BB 1700
Hero T7s
UTG folds
Hero pushes

According to ICM calculations the push increases my equity with somewhere between 0.001 and 0.006 depending on the calling ranges I put SB and BB on.

Is this a situation I should let go? The big stack did not seem interested in running over the rest of us.

Easy push for me, for several reasons:

1) you're the short stack,
2) you only have about 6BB,
3) you're pushing into two medium stacks who still have plenty of time left
