Villain is 16/16 and seems like a good reg. Whats your move here? ICMizer and wizard says its fold. If we 3bet here and villain shoves, would you call?

UTG raises to 2,400, 3 folds, Hero ?
Seems like the easiest shove ever. I understand that it's not really good to call of any shove here because of ICM reasons but you have plenty of foldequity and ofcourse you are a huge favorite against his calling range so i would just shove and be extremely happy about it.
3betting with the intention of folding is just a huge mistake.
3bet shove would not be optimal move here. I think 3bet 2.5x and call villains shove would be more optimal.
At a 45 mans final table with a flat prize structure I don’t mind to 3bet shove here.
If you 3 bet here you could get in a nasty ICM spot if he pushed against you.
Even with KK as 2nd in chips against the chip leader.

I actually did 3bet-shove and he suprised me with showing 3 3, as I thought his bottom calling range would be JJ+,AK. At first it was easy shove for me, but those very short stacks confused me and I wasn't sure anymore what would be the best move here. If all the stacks were nearly equal it would be easy shove for sure.

I'm just wondering for those who would 3-bet 2.5x in this spot, do you ever have a 3-bet fold range in this spot. Do you think villain will act differently on a 3-bet 2.5x than on a 3-bet shove? Most players that i see 3-bet 2.5x here are just bad regs with aces or kings.
If you want to be balanced, what does a 3-bet fold range looks like here against an UTG opening range. ex. 3-bet folding A-To can't be really profitable
