So it has become both of us pushing our SB every time.

Auto call?

Because SB has been pushing every hand which means hero should be about a coinflip here. Even if he loses, he's got about 3BB left. I'd probably call here.

FYP

If he's pushing any two, you are ahead of his range, plus pot odds you should call here.

yeah, if you ever fold to a hand like J5, it's a disaster. you only need to be ~37% to win. call that.

Yah I was pretty sure it was a call, just SNG PT doesn't allow for that high of blinds.

that's simple enough that you can do it with pokerstove. ICM says cashEV = chipEV when you're HU. just check if you have pot odds to call against his range.

He's a favorite against villian's range, so it's an easy call.

the odds of villain pushing 32o, 74, 43, etc are not 100%. you have to tilt villain's hand up somewhat from "any 2" for that, so hero is slightly behind villain's range, imo. you still call though.
