But he's a multitabler, probably a 2p2'er, and he should know about ICM. So why the hell call here? It makes no sense, at all. [/ QUOTE ] So the next time you play him and a similar situation is there, will you still push any two? |

I'm not saying it's supports the call, but I can see the confusion. Suppose you know the BB calls 20% of the time, SNG PT says (with 50% blind disounting) that the SB should push with 25% (minimum edge 0.5%). Q8 isn't in that range. If he thinks you're pushing even worse hands, that may re-inforce his calling instinct.
I can't find a push%/call% equilibrium. |

Well, if he folds, he loses equity, too. He's in a no win situation.

oh please, I've seen calls from hands like K9 in this type of situation. Seeing a looser call like AJ shouldn't be any surprise. Even if he's calling with AJo ICM says that its ridiculously profitable to push 32o here anyway, so its not like he's hurting you that much.

Assuming you'll push with any 2, AJo looks to be about a break even call. I get his CEV goes down just the slightest amount by calling. This is using the ICM model.
Does it break down in a situation where the blinds are so high compared to the small stack? |

I see these calls all the time (but at a lower limit). It often makes me wonder if I'm playing correctly raising any 2 in these situations when there's enough morons out there willing to call with a "good" hand even though there's a super-short stack about to bust.
