I finish in 4th a lot. I wonder if its because I misplay basic situations.

Haven't seen SB or BB defend more than usual.

Super easy push. Run some ICM calcs on it.

I calculated it. I get a positive expectation if my opponents will call with 10% of their hands, and a negative one if they will call with 25% of their hands.

These are the ranges I used:

10%: AA-77, AKs-A9s, KQs-KTs, QJs-QTs, AKo-AJo, KQo

25%: AA-66, AKs-A2s, KQs-K6s, QJs-Q8s,
JTs-J8s, T9s-T8s, AKo-A7o, KQo-K9o, QJo-QTo, JTo

What range are you assigning to the opponents?
