ICM spot

[T_Mar]

What range should I be getting it in with big stack here pls??  Villian has been super aggro raising nearly every unopened pot since about 6/7 handed, he's raise/folded to reshoves  a fair amount of time but also called pretty wide, and gambled in situatons like this where he can afford to take a hit... ICM not a strong point and I'm pretty sure i'm making mistakes

How should range differ if the villian is more standard TAG'y type (if at all given situation with other similar stacks to mine)

If the guy is competent he should be opening supppper wide, so you can jam lighter, but ICM is pretty delicate with 2nd to 4th all even stacks.

A shove here puts us a clear 2nd though which is rather handy.

What do you perceive he will call you with if you shove? That's going to affect things...

Against this guy I'm probably shoving:
A8s+, AT+, 66+

Against a TAG your range should probs be more AJ+, 88+

if he's tightish I usually shove 88+ aq+ ajs+

I'd guess he's calling something like pairs, any ace, most broadways

Your shoving range is actually wider than I thought people would say.. but am kind of relieved if thats correct

I had AJ and thought it was easy shove at the time, thought after it might be wrong given the stacks of other players and ICM... obv  i'm well ahead of his range though

If he is opening a lot I would jam pretty wide.

If he is tight I don't mind stop and going him or 3bet fold (probs 5%) but still be jamming quite wide here

Never ever ever 3bet folding with 15bbs.

I agree with James' range since he taught me everything I know

I also agree with james, however Sheets taught me everything I know!

If he is really tight I would do it but only like 5% of the time
