Actually, it was 3 of the last 4. Grow a set and push these, Vig? Or muck 'em?

I think this is very close at the 22s because of the spite call danger. I'd flip a mental coin, I guess.

It's proximity is up for debate but I would fold here most of the time.

Have you actually done ICM here, at all? It's not close even if they are calling with a tight range. It's a fold!

Somewhere today I read somebody write he wanted more explanation behind the responses. I think it goes without saying that Tigerite is very well respected in the STTF. I sure respect you.

So, why is this not close?

Personally, I think it's a fold because:

- OP has 9 BBs, no where near desperation
- two villains have much smaller stacks and are getting desparate enough to widen their range
- OP pushed a lot already, eventually a spite call will come and KQs is not killing everybody
- BB is going to call with a lot of hands
- two bigger stacks behind can knock OP out

Because the calling ranges for the 3 barring BB (who can call with any two and it doesn't bother us, but that's not the point for this case, really) are 3%, 9%, 9%. The CO alone is pretty insane with JJ+,AK+ only. I don't know many $109'ers even who wouldn't call TT or AQ here, let alone a $22er. As for the 9%, that is slightly more likely, but just a tad too close to the bone for me, especially with the pushing that's been going on. Button perhaps I could see folding some of the range, but the SB, knowing BB will be priced in to call a lot, if he puts the OP on any kind of a steal at all will definitely be pushing in with a lot of suited aces and pairs. That absolutely destroys our $EV here.
