Toughie. If he is calling with a huge amount of hands I think a fold might be better but it truly sucks giving him chips for free.

If you think he folds this 1/3 or more, I think a push is in order.

ICM needs an "any two" pushing/folding range.

reads? Weak/tight player, i'll push. Otherwise, I probably fold, rather take a stand with something else.

Good post. I fold here and pray. 62s and maybe.

Your FE is already gone, fold and pray.

Flame away...

Could an effective stop and go work in this situation?

My initial thought is NO (even if your 100% he will just ckeck PF).

Thoughts?

Well since I've been doing them all day...

The nash eq here is roughly 75% push and 71% call. 62o doesn't make the list so he will have to play sub-optimally to push this hand. He just has to fold too often to push here IMO. It is dead even if he calls with 60%.

People need to go review what the stop and go is. It's not possible here.

What you're probably thinking is to call and push any flop. Anyone think this is a possible line?? You might get him to fold slighly more often.

Think the times he just push preflop take away the use of it compared to using what small FE you have and push preflop.

I think pretty much the only realistic play you have here is push or fold, and the former only if you think he is such a weak player that he folds too much.
