Hand2
Full Tilt, $0.86 Buy-in (200/400 blinds) No Limit Hold'em Tournament, 5 Players
Poker Tools Powered By Holdem Manager - The Ultimate Poker Software Suite.

Hero (SB): 1,814 (4.5 bb)
BB: 1,025 (2.6 bb)
MP: 5,476 (13.7 bb)
CO: 2,235 (5.6 bb)

Preflop: Hero is SB with 4 3
3 folds, Hero raises to 1,814 and is all-in, BB calls 625 and is all-in

Flop: (2,050) J 2 9 (2 players, 2 are all-in)
Turn: (2,050) A (2 players, 2 are all-in)
River: (2,050) 8 (2 players, 2 are all-in)

2,050 pot
Final Board: J 2 9 A 8
Hero showed 4 3 and lost (-1,025 net)
BB showed 5 9 and won 2,050 (1,025 net)

The above hands where played at the same game. Both hands I was SB against the BB. In the first hand ICM suggests we push 58.8% including 43s. In the second hand ICM suggests we push 75% but this time 43s is not included. Can someone explain why this happens?

In the second hand the BB will call pretty much any 2 and in the first hand you have still a decent amount of fold equity and then 43s is also more profitable push against the potential calling range of the BB than in hand 2 I think.

Yes, you need to look at the ranges it has for BB to call in each case. It must be about how the hand performs against those ranges.
