    Default bad move ICM wise?

    Hi all,

    A few notes about villain. He's been an absolute calling station, but was running so hot it was untrue. He'd knocked every person out to date, usually going in pre-flop as dog, and sucking out with things like K5, A7, 10J type hands.
    I would have put his range on this hand at top 40% or possibly wider...

    Interested if you think I should have laid this down....

    ICM? Is this an 18-man?

    If so, and this is just a educated guess, but you can probably put him on 100% of hands in Wiz and you'd have to fold. It's close if anything.

    That said, has he been calling raises or has he been shoving on raises like above? If he's been doing the former, I don't mind an iso, although I can iso a little less (not a big deal though IMO). But if he's been limp/shoving, I don't care for getting it in (or setting the situation up to get it in). Instead, I might over limp and stack off on an A/Q high flop. It's slightly passive, but at least you're not flipping on the bubble when you have more equity in the SNG than 3/5 of the players.
