The glaring flaw in your analysis is that your opponent's call range isn't

"AQ."

Yeah, I know. I just wanted to show that there isn't a great difference between those cards when you get called by overcards, that's all. It doesn't matter much anyways, 'cause ICM says it's a push with any 2 cards.

I still need to check some HHs, but I was thinking about having a rule more or less like this: if I'm 4th, have a good amount of FE against the BB and not getting called means moving up one spot, then I'm pushing w/ about any 2 cards.

I'm gonna go through a few HHs to see if this matches ICM.

I just think the main thing to look at to recognize a push any 2 spot (in a situation like this) is when the stack sizes at the table relative to yours are such that you need to accumulate chips to stay "even" with the field.

Makes a lot of sense to me. Thanks, I think that's a good way of seeing it.

Calling people out for trying to help isn't going to make you many friends here. ICM isn't something that can be explained "real quick".

Re: How am I supposed to know that this is +EV?
 

I would fold here sometimes, it just depends on the table and the BB. ICM says that this is a close push against a looser opponent (and there are plenty of them out there).
