Final table of online with 12k prize pool and 3.5k for 1st.... 7th pays about 450.

Blinds are 2k/4k with running ante you are currently 7th of 7 with 37k in the SB.  Double up will see you go 2nd as everyone else bar the chip leader is 40-75k range. 

You hold Ks Qs ... passed round to the button who insta shoves his 45k stack.    Simple pass/call? 

Not that exciting i know but prompted some debate.

Pass for me.

Yeah you could easily be ahead but you're not quite desperate enough to get it in with K high.

If he is half decent he is shoving a huge range I am getting them in here normally or I could fold and get  2h 9s for the next 7 hands.

Good question. I think i will go for the pass too. I need to get a better understanding of that ICM stuff, but a fold looks ok to me.

I'm 50/50 on this one, I would obv prefer to be the shover,  I think i will edge on the folding side.

prob calling when this short

If you were BB and shover was in the SB and decent then this is probably a call, but I think calling this from the SB is probably a pretty big ICM mistake. It's tempting to think that the button is shoving wide here in an unopened pot, but the stacks are closely bunched and he's through the blinds, so it's very doubtful that he's got all the Kx and Qx hands in his range that you need to be dominating to call this. Obviously if he's shoving mainly pairs and Ax hands then calling with KQ is terrible.

Also, this looks like one of those hands where if it's a call it's only a call by a small-ish margin, whereas if it's a fold it could well be a really big fold. So you're only ever making a small mistake by passing incorrectly, but if you call incorrectly it's likely to be a much, much more sizeable boo-boo.

take AA KK out of his range and I am pretty sure that this statement is very wrong

you can profitbaly shove any 2 here as the button - therefore im not sure why you have him on such a narrow range.

as for the comment about him just paying the blinds, this makes him more inclinded to shove not less

fwiw

I might've missed this but what is BB stack ?

Any info on villain,I prob sigh fold here vs unknown and shove atc unopened next hand.

is the villain not doing this?

Who is the villain?

a) It would be easier to come up with a range if I knew, and b) I would also know whether the "debating" was standard for him.  There are a few there who seem keen to "debate" for months after a hand.

And if you don't know him, you must have some idea how many hands he is playing/shoving?

Not necessarily no,with no info on villain we can't just assume he knows what he's doing.VS unknown It's more likely that he'll be a nit trying to luddderrr and has a hand than his shoving ranges are correct in this spot.

Doobs... Benzone ... no real info on him we'd only met up at final table 10mins b4.... did think to myself a few mins before that he was prob getting a bit twitchy and looking to pick up a pot but thst was more a gut feeling based on a few dwells and passes he'd made. 

BB had us both covered but not by much.

If I'm currently 7th of 7 im getting em in here.

Lets gambooooooool.

KQss is sooo pretty

Hit time bank and OPR him.

If he's making money then call. If not pass.

Alternatively sharkscope his sng stats. If he's played loads call, if not pass.

If he is anywhere near comptent or loose, I would snap his arm off.

i'd find this tough to pass, i'd probably call real-time

I haven't played him much, but would put him in the big bet weak camp as I think he is a bit of a bluffer/slow player from memory.  Nothing wrong in calling in the circs.  And the prize money never goes up much until 2nd.

pretty sure I've never lost with kqs aipf so for that reason I'm in

I don't think I'm ever folding in this spot, unless the guy is incapable of shoving even somewhat light I guess...

Prob a call for me. Going 2nd in chips in this spot is a pretty valuable side pot aside from the maths of the main pot.

Stop slow rolling

More for calling that I expected.   I think 7 or 8 times out of 10 i pass.   Think there's better spots given the stacks at the table and the nature of the game plus i tend to play a short stack better than most (lots of practice :) )     

Not that it matters but I actually called and he had 44 that held.
