    Default $5 - ugh

    Villian was 33/8 over 76 hands. Put him on a flush or straight draw here (as he obviously doesn't want a call), but would be risking all my chips with a call here.

    Really gross spot. Even if you put in a range that excludes all 2-pair, straights and sets...your still looking at around 52% equity. Getting 1.43/1 and add the ICM tax its pretty close to breakeven. If you felt you had a good edge on any of players left I think its fine to pass up this marginal spot.

    KhQh is a 60/40 favorite against you

    I would dump it. Don't have time to run the ICM now but I can imagine that the ICM tax is pretty severe in this spot. Plus, you can't always exclude two pair, straights and sets from opp's range, maybe he's been sucked out on too many times and thinks the antidote to that is to massively overbet shove. Or he could be levelling you, wanting you to put him on a draw...

    being close to the bubble also effects this I believe ICM wise.. I'd fold too..
