Hand converted with online PokerStrategy.com hand converter:

Play hand

$150/$300 No-Limit Hold'em (4 handed)

Known players:
[tg]SB$4250.00:///////;BB$3215.00:///////;CO(Hero)$2945.00:///////;BU$3090.00:///////;[/tg]

Preflop: Hero is CO with 5:h, 5:s.
Hero raises to $2,945.00(All-In), 3 folds, Hero gets uncalled bet back.

Final Pot: $450.

ICM gives a weird range for this spot: ("19.9%, 88+ 66 A2s+ A9o+ A5o-A4o K9s+ K6s KTo+ Q9s+ QJo JTs"), but gives BU 2.6%, SB 5.4% and BB 5.4% calling ranges.

Question is, when I plug those calling ranges into SNGEGT, it gives this as a clear +$EV push, so I don't quite understand why 55s aren't in the ICM range whereas K6s is. Relevant link:

http://www.holdemresources.net/hr/sngs/icmcalculator.html?action=calculate&bb=300&sb=150&ante=0&structure=0.5%2C0.3%2C0.2&s1=2945&s2=3090&s3=4250&s4=3215&s5=&s6=&s7=&s8=&s9=

to reads, BU is an ok semi reg and will be tight here. SB and BB passive, non maniacs and probably reasonably tight.

for me its marginal. all 4 players have similar stack so i like 77+ here. i think you don't need to bully so far if you know there will be better spots when you can expoit your opponents

fold for me. you should be pretty tight from CO here with 10bb. 77+ is my bottom i think

i think this is really close.
a shove doesn´t look that bad to me because i really can´t see them calling with hands like A9s.
i still guess that it´s a fold.

btw: why is it 88+ 66 but no 77? is it only because 66 beats a wheel?

//edit:
when i type it into sngwiz it looks more like 88-99

That's what I don't understand - the range looks weird to me...

Why you shouldn't push 77 here I can't see, especially when you push 66. I wouldn't push 5 here I think, unless the blinds increase next hand, but 77 is a push for me.
