Preflop vs one limper is a standard raise, everyone folds and limper calls. His stats are 37 VPIP and 18.5 PFR. Flop comes very good for us as we hit nut flush draw and we still have 2 overcards. Also depending on his range preflop he could have missed tons of hands. However, he checks and now I am pretty sure he has missed so easy cbet but the guy makes reraise allin and now I am a little bit confused as is this call or not? At this moment I am pretty sure he has some 9x, 2 over-spades or in worst scenario - he has hit a set. I don't really see twopairs or bigger pairs here. But we have very good odds to call 1:2 so we need only to win at least 33% of times to be profitable here and if we consider he has a 9x we have 15 outs here which is very strong and actually my hand is in favor. So I guess it is easy call in cash games and some midstage MTT's and other situations, but how about this one? This is 6max STT, we are 2 chip leaders and this could be a marginal spot. I am just not the strongest with the idea of ICM, is ICM working here, when 6 guys are still at the table or it turns on only when the bubble comes? I guess it is a stuff to learn as it is very important in STT's.
