I had a little chat with a close pokerbuddy of mine who plays the highest tournament stakes he didn't think this was as punty call as I did. The reasoning behind why I think this is a fold is that the player on my left is super passive and dosen't know his calling ranges so I could easily steal his blind with him overfolding to my steals.

It’s also good to know what kind of paid-out structure we are dealing with, but normal I would fold here as well against 2 all-inns.

It is not vs. 2 all-inns; In ICM consideration it's close, if legit SB showing here any two, how much differ to us prizes?

Than I have miss read the hand. Than it would be a lot easier to call against a SB shove here.

If the different in the top 3 is close qua paid out we need to call tighter than if we deal with a top heavy paid out, but now I would call KTs most of the time against a aggressive chip leader.

Issue is that you will be able to steal from 1 passive player only if big stack fold before you so it cut your % of steals by lot. And him being big stack he can be very aggressive with all pressure on you.
