Hands that have better equity than QJo against opponents range. They are these hands: 66+,A4s+,A7o+,K9s+,KTo+,QTs+

The deal being top 3 heavy can be argued both ways as to how it affects our calling range surely? I.e. If we fold, we could be losing our best/one of our best spots to get a competitive stack size  to improve our chance of a top three score and reduce pur need to make higher variance plays ongoing if we get the double up. How do we measure if it's more/less of a fold when the prizepool is top heavy? Do we not have a similar risk of finishing 4th or 5th if we nit up and watch our stack dwindle hoping another player(a) is eliminated? Given the antes in play we're already very shallow too, so  ICM wise does it become more/less of a call?

Not only is it a bad ICM call but also if villain is going to try to induce his top end and not jam it, QJo still doesn't cut it. A range like 66+,AT+,A9s+,KJs+ is about right if he's 100%, 66+,A9+,A7s+,KJ+,KTs+ if he does exclude the top end. That's using a rough % payout structure I have customed from previous MTT FT's with similar fields.
