Hi,
The ICM calculator suggests a fold (does it make sense to use ICM with so many players here, or do I use it only to calculate push/fold on bubble?). However blinds are getting big. I thought for a while, and I decided to make the push because I felt if I didn't push at this stage I wasn't going to make enough chips to make it to first place. After UTG folds, if this works and people fold, I have still one spot to push again if I get a good hand, and I am slowly gaining ground vs. the big stacks who are playing a folding game here as they are balanced on chips. Is this logic correct?
