Re: Example of buble situation where ICM calcs may be inadequate?
[ QUOTE ]
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?

One thing for sure is that Im pushing Q8o here.
