Hello,

Here I was obviously thinking that the BU was applying max ICM pressure, considering this was the final table and the pay jumps were significant. Obv, I was scared of AK and JJ. Really not sure if I should have folded this. I had no info that villain was capable of bluffing 3 streets, and I havent seen him do anything crazy before that, but I did play my hand pretty passively and it did seem like he was applying ICM pressure so I really don't know.....

This is a really interesting hand from ICM perspective, but without knowing the paid out structure and the bounties it's tough to give good feedback, but as 2nd in chips against the chip leader you need to be really carefull. Off course we don't know anything about the villain as well, but even than I would consider to fold the turn with basicly only a bluff catcher.

Cheers,

Very interesting spot. Great insight by @SDK1987, absolutely consider a fold on turn, you could be beat by so many Villain's hands, not worth finding out with so much on the line and being 2nd in chips. I would also add that a pre-flop 3-bet in this situation is also a no no considering chip stacks and ICM.
