Is this a call or not? On BTN is a reg who pushes with every 2 because he is bigstack, behind me is a tight player who has 1.1BB. I was 100% sure he will fold if I call despite the fact he could be 84 chips left only, but I had a monster vs guy who pushed any 2.

According to ICM explorer in this situation, you gonna need 69.83% of equity and the villain can push you with a range like:
66+,A4s+,K7s+,Q9s+,J9s+,T9s,A8o+,KTo+,QTo+,JTo

Based on that I supposed you should fold.

As I said before reg was pushing any 2. No need to imagine what could be his range as it is clear - 100%.
SnG wizard shows that this is an easy call, but I would like to hear some more opinions as SnG wiz is not always right.

Just to add sth. I might be wrong but think u are a bit results oriented with this hand hence ur are questioning yourself. Just cause he won doesnt mean it was a bad call. Most important is that you make the right decision. Good luck

Nasty ICM spot, but against someone that shoves any 2 QQ is still a call. It’s to bad it didn’t work out this time.

Even when BU is pushing Nash Optimal 69% you have an easy call with QQ.
As you say he may well be pushing 100% making your call even easier.

Don't torture yourself with the result. You had a 72-28% and you lost. Wish that you always get these odds and longterm it will be a nice result :f_thumbsup:
