Good call/ Bad call?

[Ghandii]

What do you think? Can somebody please do the maths on this one?

Live tourney, last three at final table. Prizes are in euro 350/550/1100.
Im BB with 130,000 chips, opp is Button with 128,000. SB has 67,000.
Blinds are 5,000/10,000.

Button pushes AI. SB folds.

Buttons range is top 25%+. Hes been showing a lot of uncalled hands throughout the final table. Any ace, any pair, any two broadways. His range could likely be looser but definately no tighter.

I called with KQo, figuring to either be a slight dog to his range, or catch him on a bluff and be 6/4 favourite or better.

I been thinking about it and in hindsight Im not sure if it was a good or bad call. Winning the hand puts me heads up with nearly a 4/1 chip lead. Losing leaves me taking third place, barring a string of unbelievable fortune.

Was it good call/bad call? Can someone work out the $ equity for folding v calling?

Muchos Gratias.

I believe it's a bad call. You are dumping equity to the short stack who isn't too far away from blinding out. I don't believe that KQo is strong enough to call off your stack. I would fold and punish the short stack when he's in the bb.

The argument is that if you are playing for first then this might be a call. However, this is a perfect ICM situation and I think that you need to look for a better situation. This hand would be different if villain standard raised. Then I would advocate a shove with your KQo. You would then be putting him to the test of making a -EV call.

Ty for the link. Ill nail the ICM so hopefully I dont need to ponder these situations

I was actually on the fence here and what tipped me onto the call was the intent to win the tourney. Doesnt make it right though...
