You need to call 8.499 into a total pot after call of 25.598 and that’s 33,2% equity what you need. So your calculation is right and based on your range it’s a good call:
Equity Win Tie
UTG 37.21% 33.21% 4.00% { KhQs }
UTG+2 62.79% 58.80% 4.00% { 77+, A8s+, KJs+, ATo+, KQo }

Ranges & Equity (1): Introduction to Ranges
Ranges & Equity (2): Combos & Card Removal
Ranges & Equity (3): Equity Introduction
Ranges & Equity (4): Equity: Final Calls

You can find the calculation in the last article I posted , but I think it’s good to know the basics first before you read it.

Don't we need a margin to make a call? Namely, because of ICM, shouldn't we avoid a call that is EV-neutral as losing a chip is worst than earning a chip when we are at 12BB+?

And if that's true, how can we assess the margin we need?

Cheers

It’s difficult to calculate ICM without a prize pool and we are most likely also far away from the final table.
So ICM isn’t much a issue, because we don’t play to min cash.

Thanks a lot for your answer.

It seems I am overestimating the ICM and making too tight plays.
