With your stack, those blinds, and two folds in front, I think you have to do this.

I'm pushing into two very large stacks with very little to lose. Being on the button looks like i'm stealing, therefor I think i have very little FE here.

True enough, but wait four or five more hands and they have even less to lose and you have even less to win.

I used to think that too...but there are very few hands that you're really in decent shape against.... there are far worse gambles...but I'd rather push K2o than 78o here. With King High I'm at least ahead of some loose calls.

I'm moving in here, even if they call any ace or any pair, it's only marginally -$EV and any tighter than that it's +$EV. However a fold probably isn't really bad, I just feel that I need some chips. By the way K2o here is actually a worse push by ICM.

Well, just use SNGPT and you can prove it.. with K2o the ranges have to be 15%/17% and with 87o they have to be both 17%, and 23% is like -0.1% with 87o and around -0.4% for both with K2o.

FWIW I didn't really mean K2o...just going for the whole King high effect...

Also, {hijack) could you explain ICM to me? What does it stand for? What is it? How do I use it? Can I DL it? Where? etc... I'm literally lost.
