Not a clue what to do here. I tanked and I decided to fold because I had no idea what was the right play.

(turbo)
PokerStars - $1.32+$0.18|100/200 NL - Holdem - 6 players
Hand converted by PokerTracker 4

(VPIP/PFR/AF)
CO: 717.00 - 22/18/3
Hero (BTN): 2,290.00 - 24/22/2
SB: 2,478.00 - 10/7/1
BB: 2,020.00 - 24/17/3
UTG: 4,821.00
MP: 1,174.00

SB posts SB 100.00, BB posts BB 200.00

Pre Flop: (pot: 300.00) Hero has K♠ Q♠

fold, fold, CO raises to 717.00 and is all-in, fold, fold, fold

Based purely on ICM calculations you should have called and possibly also considered pushing yourself to try and stop others from joining the hand. Your calling range should have been as follows:

11.6%: 44+ A8s+ A6s AJo+ KTs+ KQo

As you seem to have a fair few questions to do with the late stages of SnG's I would recommend you download the ICM trainer (it's free):

It's worth practising a lot with this (I personally try to do 1000 hands a day) as it will give you a good feel for the types of ranges that you should be pushing and folding with in the late stages. A more advanced program is Sit and Go Wizard but it's quite expensive. I think that allows you to experiment with different player ranges (as not everybody will be playing according to optimal ICM).

Thanks so much Orion for your advice :f_love:
Actually I have just found one, and I think you might like it! It comes with the beta testing version of PT4, which is FREE at the moment (by the way, the whole software is absolutely amazing. I have always been a fan of PT3, but PT4 is something else. I highly recommend it. Feel free to send me a PM if you can't find or if I can be of any help with PT4).

Cheers for the tip. I use HM2 at the moment and have only just about got to grips with that so don't fancy switching just yet! Good luck with the ICM trainer in PT4 anyway, hope it's of use.

I think calling isn't good because you just need to call anyway if sb or bb pushes, so with push you still will have FE. For me it's standard iso shove.

Good iso shove spot.

You are ahead of COs range and you have FE vs SB / BB
