Default Re: Example of buble situation where ICM calcs may be inadequate?

I haven't done ICM, and I don't have SGA, but just considering stack sizes, this looks like a poor push. Big stack can call with a wide range of hands, because losing won't severely affect his tourney equity. Your stack isn't small enough to make it attractive to him to keep you alive. And he knows the blinds will sit this one out, so there's no risk behind him.

Big stack can't lose a lot of equity, but both mid stacks stand to gain a ton. That means you must be the one losing it. It's a zero sum game.
