(although Durron you seem to have SB tighter on pocket pairs, but looser on high hands than the button, so that's a little confusing).

I did this intentionally. The SB will probably not want to gamble with 44 since 44 is never really a big favorite over anything. For example if you are pushing JT I would want to call with A2s (60% fave) but not 44 (51% fav). That was kind of a whimsical decision though.

A few more things to consider, OP. There's some chance you'll get more than one caller, which reduces the $EV of pushing. Also, there's a chance someone will act when you fold, (as you pointed out,) which increases the $EV of folding. Also, ICM doesn't consider position and blind size. Lastly, ICM considers all players equal in skill. If you're better than everyone at the table, you should pass on borderline $EV situations in favor of larger positive $EV situations in the future. A lot of these are completely impossible to account for quantitatively, which is what makes poker such a bitchin game. Nevertheless, they should be on your mind.

Anyone know of a program that can do everything above on one shot? IE take hole cards, calling ranges, stack sizes, touney payout, and spit out the push/fold $EV #s? That would be pretty cool.

SNGPT does exactly that, as I understand it. The consensus is it's a must-buy if you are spending any kind of money on buy-ins.
