Hahaha! I really hope you are just trolling...

In case you aren't, let me say this. There are times when ICM does not provide a satisfactory model to base your decisions on 100%.

THIS IS NOT ONE OF THOSE TIMES.

This is simply a math question. There is only ONE correct play in the situation descibed by the OP if one wishes to maximize $EV. That play is to push. It doesn't matter what your 'instincs' tell you or if you want to 'avoid bad beats'. Hell it doesn't even matter what range of calling hands the SB an BB have here, its still +EV. Once you crunch the numbers, you know what play to make, and you make that play 100% of the time in this specific scenario. There is no room to 'play poker' here, and you don't like this fact then don't play party poker STTs.
