    That if they are calling with correct ranges . SB is calling probably less , could fold weak aces and 22-33 perhaps . But BB could call even wider considering his stack , so this is not a good spot at all .

    I miss my sngwizard trial long gone, but not forgotten.

    I would think SB is calling a LOT tighter than 25%, which is like 22+,A2s+,K6s+,Q8s+,JTs,A5o+,KTo+,QJo. Seems loose to me.

    Yeah, BB is in a position to call you pretty wide. I wonder if 27% is accurate though, quite a few of those hands would be -cEV, would it be worth it for the chance to knock you out.
    Does depend on what he expects you to be shoving, and I would expect you to be shoving a wide range, so...maybe that is right after all.

    Could you do me a favor and run SB as 11% and see what range it says?

    With SB on 11 it's -0.37 , suggested range - 11.5 (55+,A9+,A7s+,KQs)

    Thank you, that seems a bit better. I must be getting rusty, I guess I will have to buy sngwizard if I really want to keep playing MTTs and SNGs.

    $100, it helps a lot with Push/Shove spots in MTT&SNG. You can get by fine without it for quite some time, but if you get a good size bankroll going and plan to play only tournament style games it is worth it.

    A good alternative (free) to study ICM is on PokerStrategy - http://www.pokerstrategy.com/software/7/

    Couldn't import hands (only accepts .XML and even when converted hands with the Universal Replayer to .XML couldn't get it to import) , maybe it doesn't work w FT .

    Hmm , ICM Trainer with the A2s spot has a 25.5% push 22+,A2s+,A8o+ A5o,K7s+.. but changing the HandRange and Number of Players doesn't make any difference . The results are not even close , ICM probably has them on a fixed range which is not the best option IMO .
