Recently I've been practising with ICM Trainer and this spot bothers me a lot. Do we really have to call so tight here?

Thanks.

It gonna depends on BTN range. But, on that spot, villian should push a wide range, like 30%+, so 77 should be a easy call. You're ITM, and you're the shortest so your risk premium is minimum. Hope I'm correct :P

These situations are pointless because very rarely is BU going to push 31big blind effective stack. If he does do this you should already know whether he is a hugely drooler (wide range, thus we call) or just is afraid with TT or 99 or AK of being sucked out on (fold!)

There's a setting somewhere on ICM Trainer that lets you make it so that you only get questions for 10bb (or lower) pushes, I'd suggest doing that because otherwise we get a bad indication of what the right play is.

Thank you for the clarification. :)

However, I checked it out and I am pretty sure that there isn't such a setting in ICM Trainer. I guess it is only useful for practising to push yourself and not calling, because villains almost always shove 10bb+.

but you shouldn't shove with 31bb either ^^, just skip those questions if there's no setting
