There are 3 guys in the tournament with one bb or less. Both bigstacks are regs but I don't know anything about them because I never play these.
What's your play? How relevant is ICM here?
I dont think this is a spot I want to be shoving, always a chance that UTG+1 or CO wakes up with a monster.
That said it is a hand I want to play and happy to take on BB.
I would minraise, fold to shove from big stacks, possibly take on SB depending on other action.
I think the bigstack could shove on me ridic wide though, so r/f could be a waste of chips. I thought about limping too...

If you believe this then I would shove. Folding does not cross my mind in a just under 2 buy-in bubble, if anything our opponents will over adjust for this bubble and fold AJo to us.
You are right, bigstack could shove wide BUT
if he is a good player and understands icm he knows he could shove wide, he also knows that you know he knows that and therefore you should only be minraising super strong.
If he doesnt understand icm he prob folds out or at worst calls.
I think limping is really bad, just encourages more limps and bigstack or SB shove.
i think u are over thinking here
if u have reads, u see that big stack is abusing buble shoving almost every hand then i shove
if not i'll min raise fold to every body except obv shorties
