Default Example of buble situation where ICM calcs may be inadequate?
Situation from party 109:

Blinds 100/200

Hero ~ 1000
Button ~5000
SB ~ 2000
BB ~2000

Does it make sense for the hero to push with a wider range of hands than ICM calcs would suggest to avoid a situation (after the blinds hit him) where hero's stack would be considerably smaller than the other stacks, reducing hero's FE precipitously and probably causing the mid-stacks to tighten up and "wait out" the hero?

In the actual hand, I pushed Q8o, and lost to the big stacks's 99.

ANy thoughts on the general scenario and the particular hand?
